It's the year 2149.
Earth is dying, the atmosphere is becoming impossible to breathe in, and most hope is lost. Most.
Flora Goldman is seventeen years old, struggling to surrvive on earth. Her whole family is dead. She lives on her own in a small apartment, gathering scarce food and water supplies when she can.
At Hope Plaza, a huge ring-shaped structure in Chicago, scientists have discovered a rift in space in time, which allows people to step through and travel 85 million years back in time, the time of the prehistoric earth. Every now and then, certain people are chosen or pay to travel through the rift on a pilgrimage. The rift was taken as a sign; a sign of destiny; a sign for the human race to start afresh.
When Flora is chosen, how will she cope with the change? Who will she meet? What will happen?

In the grip of the Alien
#1 in paranormal [20.11.2024] #2 in fiction [22.10.2024] #2 in paranormal-romance [2.1.2025] #4 in scifi-romance [14.11.2024] #5 in steamy [14.1.2025] ✅️Updating ❗️NOTE: The story takes its time to establish a rich, complex world before the main characters meet. It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.
