Setting Fire to the Stars (a MM Sci-Fi Romance)
When Lauren Everhart and his former high school bully, Peter Ducane, are thrown together in the chaos of an alien invasion, the last thing either expects is to rely on the other to survive. As Earth falls under attack, Lauren suddenly manifests dangerous psychic abilities-drawing the attention of the Lyriascan Empire and its ruthless ruler, Adamas Son'Raul, a conqueror determined to claim Lauren as his future mate.
Hunted across a collapsing world, Lauren and Peter are forced into an uneasy alliance, confronting buried resentment, unresolved attraction, and the kind of emotions that surface when the end of everything feels imminent. But as Lauren's powers grow and the enemy closes in, desire threatens to become just as dangerous as the invasion itself. With Earth's future hanging in the balance, can Lauren and Peter stay one step ahead of their pursuers, and their explosive attraction, long enough to stop an empire determined to take the planet by force?

(Excerpt taken from chapter 8)
'Don't catch feelings, Peter. You can't. You chose this. Normal life, remember? I wanted to meet a nice girl, settle down in a big house with a white picket fence-
I wanted to trace those full lips with mine as I mapped out every inch of his soft skin with my hands and worshipped every freckle on his body as he breathed out my name like a prayer-
Fuck.'
