Earth is in decline, and the wealthy have fled it leaving only the destitute citizens behind. And aliens. Gemma McKinley works at a prison cleaning goop off the floors and serving food to inmates. When she is reassigned to the alien ward, Gemma is nervous. Aliens are dangerous and ruthless. They bite. But there is one that isn’t like them. Simon is damaged, starved, and wasting away in complete isolation. Touched by his loneliness, Gemma starts nursing him back to health, dismissing rumors that he’s high-risk, ignoring the advice to let him croak. Simon despises humans. His only goal is to get off this miserable planet fast, for he is hunted by a scientist obsessed with perfecting the human race. Simon’s rare alien genes are just the ingredient that’s missing for breakthrough research. Thanks to Gemma, for the first time in years he can escape. And he will. He will… As the hunt for Simon heats up, Gemma becomes an unintended target. Is she a fool to help him get away? And will he risk another captivity to protect her?

Lydia Hope
An avid romance reader since her teens, Lydia was at times left frustrated by the actions of somebody else’s characters. She decided to write just so she could steer that boat herself, an author was born out of frustration, in a way. A linguistics major, Lydia is a Ph.D. program dropout with aspirations to one day come back and graduate. While waiting on that day to arrive (20 years and counting), she manages projects in exchange for money. She analyses data like nobody’s business and can build a mean pie chart. A recent transplant to the D.C. area, Lydia enjoys all the capital has to offer while pining for the sunny Florida that she called home for almost 20 years. Lydia lives with her husband, two of her three children (they grow up too fast), and soon, hopefully, a cat (TBD – check back for pictures). She likes to cook, go on long runs, and is an enthusiastic, if not a particularly gifted, home decorator. She also writes. Lydia Hope is a pen name that pays tribute to her two late grandmothers, Lydia and Hope.
