Mitchel Timmons and her friends just wanted to enjoy a day at the park, regardless of the threat of the Arra hanging over the planet, and more specifically, their town. They want to be able to live their lives, despite the warnings. They figure that as long as they’re home by nightfall, they’ll be safe, or so they thought.

When the girls disappear, Mitchel’s father blames the Ruinos, for good reason. He’d heard her frantic phone call and knows it was them who ambushed his daughter and her friends in the park. How can he be expected to rely on other Ruinos to stage a rescue?

Mitchel hates the Ruinos as much as her father does. She never expects one of those aliens to latch onto her and protect her from other Ruinos as well as the Arra when she’s held captive aboard the Arran spaceship. In fact, although she doesn’t want to admit it, she feels safe when she’s around him. Which is why, when she sees the chance to escape, she takes him back down to Earth with her.

Now her heart’s divided between wanting to still hate the Ruinos and caring for Neeallt, who’s beginning to mean a lot to her. Unfortunately, the town is divided between those who support the Ruinos and those who don’t, even though the Ruinos are working hard to blend in, hoping to find their mates among the humans as they try to make an honest life for themselves. Their common enemy is the Arra, who are orbiting the planet and waiting for their chance to kidnap the human females in order to force the Ruinos to mate with them as a way to increase their numbers.

Despite the good the Ruinos have done, the townspeople want the aliens gone, and Mitchel is faced with losing Neeallt or staying with him. Maybe it’s time they both move on from Tumbril Harbor and find some place safer. A place they can call home.

No one was prepared for the Arra’s next move, despite all their precautions.

Warning! Contains Halloween eyes, a giant tin can, oatmeal with sliced cucumbers (or mango), lavender, a blockade and a diversion, that pause-y thing, and one young woman willing to fight the whole town and the Arra for the alien she's come to love.

Nurse Ivy Domberg, along with the rest of the world, watched as the Magellan spacecraft launched into space for a top-secret mission to the moon. She would miss her husband while he was gone, but he’d be back before she knew it. 

No one expected those two short weeks to turn into years.

The day the spaceship disappeared, Earth was hit with a blinding light, and life hasn’t been the same since. Every female is now sterile, human and creatures alike. Insects, reptiles, fish, and birds are becoming extinct. Same for all animals as none of them are able to reproduce. Meat, eggs, and milk, as well as grain and vegetable crops, are growing scarce. It’s only a matter of time before the world’s population is completely wiped from the face of the Earth, either from starvation, old age, or both. 

During this time, Ivy refused to believe her astronaut husband Skeet was dead. But when the Magellan inexplicably returns with its crew somehow alive, is it a coincidence alien ships are spotted on the same day? Were the aliens responsible for their disappearance, as well as the chaos on Earth?

Even as a possible interstellar war looms on the horizon, Ivy’s nurse instincts kick in when she discovers a lone creature lying near a road. A creature not from Earth. A creature who appears to have just given birth. Seeing the infant, Ivy can’t ignore the alien’s plight, no matter the species. Regardless of the devastation they may have brought to the planet, a mother’s love for her baby is universal. 

And it just might save the world.

Warning! Contains a jar of eggs, a devastating loss, plant-based meat, paying in cash, fake hot chocolate, and two people whose love and resilience gives them the hope and faith they need to survive.

The Children are settling into their new lives, but unexpected expenses are piling up with the babies’ milk and diapers, and the electricity bill on the rise as the brunt of winter inundates them. Everyone is doing what they can to pitch in, working extra shifts and doing whatever it takes to keep their heads above financial waters, to the point where K8 is contemplating using her ability to split in two to do double the work. But how much longer can they keep it up?

When K8 is approached by a publisher to tell the Childrens’ story, she’s hesitant to trust the guy, but she likes the idea. She’s always loved writing, and she’s been wanting to get back into it. Plus the extra money from book sales would definitely help. But is their story worth sharing? 

Adam has been working with K8 at the diner for a while now, and his feelings for her keep growing. He’s leery of the publisher, fearing the man is someone looking to take advantage of the Childrens’ innocence, and he takes it upon himself to protect K8. As he earns her trust, he’s hoping he’ll also gain her affection.

While they may have been raised in an unrealistic environment, the Children are quickly learning how the real world works, and know some people don’t have their best interests at heart. Worse, the threat of retaliation from Docenti Labs is still real, and those people will never stop coming for them or for the valuable information they claim was stolen. 

Warning: Contains a great tipper, needing a lawyer, when you're a cook and not a housekeeper, a nine point five, leftover meatloaf, injections from hell, and one man trying to protect the woman he's come to love at the risk of his own life.

One man's love stood between her powers and Earth's annihilation.

After being banished from her own world because her people deeply feared the scope of her powers, an anomaly shoots Sah'Reena toward Earth and the one man in the universe meant to be her mate.

No one, least of all Dr. Robin Dickenson, expected what they discovered when they opened the alien craft captured by the space shuttle Liberty while on a routine space mission. But from the moment he first sees the star girl, Robin is captivated.

Near death, and never expecting to see anything again beyond the endless void of space, Sah'Reena isn't certain, at first, that her mind isn't playing tricks on her.  But the handsome face of the stranger she sees gives her hope for life when she'd thought all hope was gone.

G8 Children and the others are adjusting and learning to live freely outside of the underground bunker that they were once led to believe was normal life. They’re trying to find jobs as they scrounge for food and clothing, although the town is nice enough to help them whenever possible. But they’re determined to do it on their own, for the first time ever.

When a fire at Docenti Labs sent everyone running, Ingrid Shyne was told to wipe the computers and get out, but she couldn’t leave the babies behind. How could anyone? She escapes with them, hiding out at her parents’ place, but she knows she can’t keep the infants forever. They’re Chimeras, created in a lab like the other “children” who escaped, and they need to be with those who understand them. When she reaches out, she’s welcomed with open arms, especially by one in particular.

Ingrid can’t wait to share all the firsts with G8—first love, first changing of the seasons, first holiday season, first birthday celebration. It breaks her heart that he and his family have been deprived of the joys in life she’d always taken for granted. But all of this could be taken away before they ever get a chance to experience any of it. 

The sheriff soon calls G8 up to begin work in his new deputy position and aid them in investigating the abandoned labs, along with the help of Ingrid since she worked there. But they soon realize their lives are at risk. For good reason. They’ll need everyone’s special abilities, along with local law enforcement, to protect themselves as well as the second generation of Chimeras.

Warning: Contains no wrong moves, eggs with beans, surviving, healing, a classic Chevy, BOOM!, and two people refusing to give up hope for love and a life together.

Megan Kolt has been trapped, a prisoner in her own body, for the past six years. Her husband, Turner Kolt, has watched her slowly waste away in a coma, but he’s been assured her brain is functioning and she still has her senses. When offered a chance for his wife to live vicariously through someone else through a fairly new service from Rall Rentals, he wants to let his wife experience…something. Anything.

Wanting to use her own life to help others, Jory Wittenhouse applies for the Rall Rentals program to allow others who are less fortunate to live through her. After vigorous testing, she’s approve and given a special case, not the usual disabled or handicapped client. The renter is completely comatose and paralyzed, but still reacts to stimuli. She’s told the woman’s family wants her to spend whatever time she has left being happy, and Jory wants to give her that.

Turner has his reservations, and questions are raised. He proposes the opportunity to meet the rental, if she’s willing, to put his own mind at ease, under the guise of letting Megan see his face one last time. He wasn’t expecting her to be perfect. For Megan, that is.

He wants Megan to experience what it’s like to be alive again, to be loved, and that’s why he’s attracted to Jory. Because Megan is in there somewhere, or so he’s trying to convince himself to ease the guilt. But as much as he wants Megan to live again, Turner isn’t living himself.

Time and love will make that decision for him.

Warning! Contains chicken parmesan, a rare exception, Taco Tuesday, four little words, a man whose love and patience knew no bounds, and a woman who found herself loving a man she knew she couldn't have.
