And now, Quinn and I are dreaming big.

The ship lifts off the ground and I can see Hayden and Ezra waving at us from the ground. I stand up and wave out the front window, desperate to see them just a few seconds longer as the ship lifts off. Over the past few months, we’ve spent a lot of time together and we’ve grown very close. Although they’re Quinn’s siblings, I’m going to miss them more than I ever dreamed possible.

I may have lost my family, but I’ve found a new one, and it’s better than I ever dreamed possible.

The world didn’t end when my family betrayed me. In fact, it kept going, and it got better.

Better than I ever could have imagined.

Once we’re up in the air, Quinn punches in some coordinates and sets the ship to autopilot, then he pulls me into his arms and kisses me.

“It’s you and me, baby,” he whispers. Then he kisses me some more.

We might not know where we’ll be in a week or a month or a year, but as long as Quinn’s by my side, the future is bright and beautiful and fresh, and I can’t wait to see what wonderful possibilities the universe holds.

Alien Beast

He's a war hero.

She's a virgin.

He's broken.

She's perfect.

When he finds her in the midst of an alien war, Luke takes Willow for himself. He can't help it. He's never taken a prisoner alive before, but Willow is different. He needs her. He wants her. Most of all, he craves her.

Willow is a human who has the worst luck in the world. When the tour ship she's on malfunctions and crash-lands on the wrong planet, she's thrust into the middle of a war: one she has no desire to be in. With people dying all around her, Willow tries to hide, but it's too late.

She's captured by an alien beast unlike anything she’s ever seen before.

And the worst part is that after awhile, she's not so sure she wants him to let her go.

Chapter 1

Willow looked around the tiny room she was going to call home for the rest of the month. The bed was smaller than she expected, even for an interstellar cruise ship, and there were no windows. That’s what she got for trying to skimp on her trip, though. The cost of the excursion was already so high before adding luxuries like windows or extra-large beds that she had chosen not to spring for those things.

Willow had been saving for years to take this trip. She didn’t want to waste any extra cash on things she didn’t really need. Only now, as she stared at the tiny, plain space, she wondered if she had made a mistake. She’d seen Ashley’s room. It was big. There was a large, double bed covered in soft pillows and blankets. The in-room bathroom was huge, too. It was almost as big as the suite itself with a bathtub and a shower.

Willow couldn’t believe it. Her family had money, but Ashley’s was positively loaded. Willow couldn’t imagine something as spectacular as a bathtub on her trip, but then, she might as well not even think about it. She would be sharing a bathroom with several other females in her hall. She didn’t even have the pleasure of showering alone, and Ashley had a bathtub.

Placing her bag on the tiny bed, Willow walked around the room once more. It wasn’t as horrible as she thought it was at first. It was plain, to be sure, but there was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror and a little desk she could sit at when she wasn’t sleeping.
