What if your anonymous online romance turned out to be your co-lead on a top-secret space mission—right before the ship crashes on a hostile alien world?
Dr. Analise Jenkins has built her career on discipline, brilliance, and never letting distractions—like feelings—cloud her mind. She's the youngest astrophysicist to ever lead an interstellar mission, and she's not about to mess that up.
Vincent Griffin? He's the mission's lead engineer, a genius with a toolbox, a sharp tongue, and a mother who's already planning his wedding. Neither of them expected the person behind their six-month anonymous online flirtation to be standing across the launch bay, just minutes before liftoff.
Now, stranded on the alien planet Xylaria with four crewmates, bizarre flora, and the threat of violent alien factions, Analise and Vincent must lead their team through survival, sabotage, and secrets. Their mission was never just about exploration—and Earth's leaders knew it.
As they fight to repair their escape pods, defend their crew, and unravel a mystery that spans galaxies, Analise and Vincent are drawn closer by necessity... and something far more dangerous: longing.
From strange transmissions to ancient technology, brutal enemies to unexpected allies, Unauthorized Contact takes you on a sci-fi thrill ride full of wit, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes adventure.
