He’s got wings, horns, and tons of snark.
She’s got a minimum wage job, a housemate who hates her guts, and a routine.
Together, they might figure out that what they truly needed was each other all along.
Sanne
Life in the Netherlands is peaceful. Boring, even. I wake up, go to class, then head to my shift at the cafe. Afterward, I come back home to either sleep or study. If I’m feeling particularly bold, I might even watch a television show or two. Nevermind the fact that I’m lonely as hell, my ex took all our friends in the breakup, and I haven’t gotten laid in forever. But then he crash lands into my life. Literally. A purple monster from outer space with horns, wings, and a tail. I’m terrified, of course. But he needs my help and a part of me feels sorry for him. Not only that, but he's fun to be around, funny, and… oddly attractive. But I can’t fall for an alien. That would be far too strange. And yet I can’t deny the sparks that fly between us. Best not to get attached, though. After all, his goal is to get off the planet, not put down roots.

I refuse to be a slave any longer. Growing up on T’Jirra, I always knew my fate would never be my own. Taking my life into my own claws, I escape the only planet I’ve ever known and head straight into the black void. Destination: anywhere far, far away from my captors. When I land on a Section-9 planet called Earth, I end up in a human female’s living room. She’s a stunning woman, but prickly. Very prickly. But until I can figure out a way to get off this planet, we’re stuck together. For better or worse. And I feel like things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.
