“It’s not all about serving coffee and typing reports.”
Working for a secret organisation specialising in alien cover-ups, Connor Smith is no stranger to the abnormal or dangerous. His love life on the other hand… not so exciting. Until he reluctantly agrees to a blind date and meets the perfect bloke, Jason.
Things are finally falling into place for Connor, so of course that’s when he attracts an alien stalker.
Noah Jones, ex-alien, has been stranded on Earth and forced to live as a human since 1648. Alone and detached from the world around him, Noah has spent centuries observing and recording humankind. In all that time, he’s only experienced a connection with a human once… until he finds Connor.
Even knowing Connor is in a relationship, Noah can’t ignore their potential bond, or stay away.
While dealing with missing alien artefacts, a dangerous and shadowy group of collectors, and the ever-present Noah, Connor finds his orderly life crumbling around him. At least he still has the perfect boyfriend…
When Noah goes missing, Connor is forced to face the feelings growing between them and the mounting evidence that Jason isn’t who he says he is...

Amy at Joyfully Jay (first edition)
"I enjoyed this novel a lot. I didn't know what to expect based upon the title, and what I got was an action-packed, romantic journey set in a compelling world where humans and aliens live, for the most part, in harmony ... When it comes right down to it, this story is about soul mates, whose connection surpasses all other obstacles (and there are many), and whose love literally makes life worth living. I found the world that lives within Arden's brain to be fascinating. So even if you don't like aliens, there's a little something here for everyone."
Elisa at Elisa Rolle Reviews (first edition)
"I really, really like the almost "familiar" feeling of the story; true, it deals with aliens and co. but it was not really a paranormal story ... I have already stated in the past, one of my favorite sci-fi movie was Starman, since there was the supernatural element without being too over the top... and this novel reminded me a lot of that movie. Plus there is a drama element to shake the story up a bit, but it's not really so big to be the real center of the story; the growing bond between Connor and Noah manages to remain the focus of the story and of the reader's interest."
Michael Joseph (first edition)
"The plot is very solid, with a strong element of mystery. The mystery isn't all that difficult. I had it figured out about halfway through, but there are enough twists and turns in the story that I wasn't sure until the end. Even then, there were a few surprises in store. The romance aspect, and this is, at its heart, a romance, is a nice change from the usual "meant for each other" love stories. The complication of having Connor torn between two men is unusual, and provides a nice tension that many romances lack."
