♥ A sweet & fluffy hetero romance ♥ Book 1 of 2 in Soleil's Story ♥

Earth has been dead for a long, long time. Humanity has lived in isolated underground vaults for so long, 'the surface' is just a legendary fable most folks don't actually believe in anymore.

Soleil has spent her 23 years surrounded by concrete walls and dim lights--and, apparently, surrounded by lies as well. At first, her passion to learn the truth about her parents is what drives her to breaking into the vault overseer's office to gather proof from his computer, but she finds far more than she bargained for when she stumbles into a report confirming the surface has been safe to live on for hundreds of years.

Stubborn, passionate, and confident to a fault, Soleil can't let that news pass by without investigating.

Despite her chronic illness and now bolstered with the truth about who her parents were, Soleil kindly forces her way out of the vault and is the first human in almost a millennium to step foot on the forest floor above.

She didn't expect to find aliens on Earth's surface, though.

Chai Charoen and his people have been here for a while now, trying to revive the planet back to full health again. But with the peaceful come the ravenous--intelligent and wily insectoid people known as nyd. Chai Charoen is a hunter, scouting the forests for wild game and enforcing the border to keep nyd away from his people's territory--and stumbling across a strange, delicate, pale little creature like Soleil is the last thing he expected.

With a gap in communication, neither can make heads or tails of who the other person is or where they came from, but as we all know--

True love transcends language.

The question now is what Soleil will do when forced to choose between the man she now loves, and returning home to the dark vault to receive life-saving treatment for her illness.

Because her towering, teal, tentacled, fated mate certainly won't be welcome in her home.

What the beta readers have to say:

"It was super cute he was in such awe of her and had protective instincts for her right away! I loved them sitting together and trying to learn one about one another too. Soleil was so cute--it was amazing that she could help Chai see the beauty in the little and mundane things. Overall I thought this was a super cute and loveable story!! It had the sweetness factor, a treasure of a MMC, and a FMC that I would like to learn more about. I cannot wait for the story to continue. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE that it has unique chapter titles!!!" -Khyla

"Soleil’s adorable. I love her determination and fearlessness to explore. Such a “sunshine” character. I just want to wrap her in a fuzzy blanket and cuddle her! One of my favorite mini-tropes is when the couple is in a knot together and then other things pop up that they have to deal with while still attached so I loved seeing that happen in this book lol I also loved seeing Chai’s playfulness come out, where Chai’s feelings turned more clearly romantic rather than just 'enthralled', that she existed. Such a cute love story all around!" - Briana

"Soleil is a boss a-- b-tch...! Her character has a very jaded youth kind of vibe in the beginning about life in the vault and her parents, but she shows more and more grit the further the story goes. I kept reading because I wanted to see the world fresh through Soleil’s eyes. Then, as things grew between Soleil and Chai I found myself increasingly invested in their growing bond. I really like this couple and the set up for this world and am looking forward to the sequel!" -Jessica
