Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?

Librarian's Note: An alternate title and cover for this ASIN can be found here. Starving and hiding from aliens, Jasmine eats the first thing she can find. It’s not food. When the striking alien invader finds her hiding spot, she is already lost in a new world of sensation. Taken onto an alien ship, Jasmine has to process her captivity while in an altered state of mind. Luckily, the alien who found her is more interested in getting her to a medic than anything else, even though her hands have minds of their own. Was she captured or rescued? Disclaimer: This novelette has a LOT of adult language, steamy knotty romance, boundary pushing, and a healthy dose of consent, communication, and respect. There is accidental hard substance use and the threat of dark times associated with it. If you are offended by intoxication, alien physiology, or women screaming yes repeatedly, well maybe you should read this little story and get over that.
