Seventeen-year-old
high school transfer student Eve Carson is the genetic cure-all for droolworthy
Teluosian alien King, Adam Plain.
As Adam tries to
convince Eve he wants her and not just her DNA, Eve discovers a hidden world of
interstellar traders, human "genetic cows," and teen abductions by a
government that will do anything to control the Teluosians on Earth.
When Eve's mom
is kidnapped, loyalties are tested. Is Eve Adam's true love or his next
"genetic cow?"
EXCERPT:
I'm dangerous to
you. You have to leave. I don't want to hurt you."
I noticed the
skin I was wiping was getting rougher. When I moved the shirt I saw small
whiskers emerging from his face. He kept trying to move away from me. Tired of
it all, I grabbed him by the shoulders. When his eyes connected with me I
noticed they were almond shaped and so dark that I could see myself in them.
"Adam, I
need you to concentrate."
"Run,"
he growled.
"Adam, stop
being stupid. I'm already scared, and I don't need you making it worse than
your face change going on." When I stood up Adam looked as if he took a
breath of relief.
Tough! I wasn't
leaving him. I just needed to get to my cell phone in my pocket. Then I slipped
behind him and wrapped my arms around him. At first, he tensed, but when I
started to stroke his hair he relaxed against me.
"Just lay
here and help will come. I know a friend who will help us."
"No, you
don't know understand. I may not be able to control myself now. Eve—"
"Shh. It'll
be fine. You've lost too much blood to argue with me."
I knew he didn't
really agree but he was too weak. I had my phone in my right hand and dialed a
number I thought I would never need.
The phone rang
two times before he answered. "Bryan."
I unconsciously
grabbed Adam tighter.
"This is
Bryan. Speak."
"It's me,
Eve. I need your help."
I waited. It
seemed like forever but then he spoke. "You never listen, Eve. Give me
your address."
