Kira hasn't even made it through sixth grade, so dealing with aliens is a bit much. Kiranesha Älykäs has always been seen as a precocious young girl, able to handle whatever life throws at her. That ability is tested when aliens attack her school and take the adults hostage. Kiranesha and her classmates must fight for their lives against a powerful enemy while also uncovering magical secrets that have been buried for decades. In Fire, A Girl, and Far Too Many Aliens by Ava Woodhams, Kira has to face the fact that she might not have all the answers, and that sometimes kids aren't allowed to stay kids for very long.

The reluctant hero from Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences is back in all his droll glory — and this time the fate of humankind is on the line. Jesse has had the worst year of his life. First a race of homicidal (but very polite) aliens invaded Earth, killing pretty much everyone and enslaving the few people left behind, including Jesse; his best friend, Michael; his sort-of girlfriend, Lauren; and the girl of his dreams, Catlin. Now Jesse is revered as some sort of Chosen One all because he managed to kill one of the alien lords and escape — even though he’s not really sure how he did it. But it’s hard to argue with the multitude of new talents he is developing, including (somehow) killing aliens with his mind and grasping glimpses of alternate futures. With thousands of aliens already on Earth and thirty million more about to arrive, Jesse has to decide whether to embrace his maybe-destiny before the world is completely destroyed. No pressure.

When boy meets girl meets alien, the angst of first love gets an extraterrestrial intervention in a tale both outrageously funny and full of heart. Ten years after Earth sent messages out into deep space, there has been an answer. Music from distant planet Pud 5 has reached the world’s radios. Are aliens about to invade? No one knows, and almost-eighteen-year-old Derek doesn’t really care, because at a wild end-of-the-world party, Jennifer Novak invited him to play beer pong, and things, well, progressed from there. Derek is in love. Deeply, hopelessly in love. He wants it all — marriage, kids, growing old on a beach in Costa Rica. For him, Jenny is the One. But Jenny has other plans, which may or may not include Derek. So Derek will try anything to win her — even soliciting advice from an alien who shows up in his hometown. This alien may just be the answer to Derek’s problem, but is Derek prepared to risk starting an intergalactic war to get his girl? Just how far is he willing to travel to discover the mysteries of the universe — and the enigma of love?

What's worse than being stuck on an alien planet? Being stuck on an alien planet when you've made an enemy of the local tribe King. Okay, so I may have stolen his favorite mishua and snuck away to find my friends. But he should've known better than to forbid me to go. I'm a marine, and we leave no man-- or woman, behind. Besides- putting distance between us is a good thing, especially since I'm sure he's coming after me. We're like fire and gasoline, and spending time near him is is like lighting a match and waiting for the explosion. So what if his dark eyes promise more pleasure than I've ever experienced? I'm finding my friends and getting off this planet. Even if this alien king seems to think he owns me. Even if a tiny part of me might like the idea of being owned... by him.

Mail order brides of the future travel from Earth to an icy planet to meet the alien men of their dreams. This boxed set contains all four books of the Alien Mate series: Alien Mate (book 1); Alien Attraction (Book 2), Alien Intention (Book 3) and Alien Mischief (Book 4). Alien Mate I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me and sent me to Dakon, a primitive, frozen planet. They can send me, but I refuse to become a barbarian’s “mail-order bride,” even if he is tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. I am Torg. With this shipment of females, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear. It is only when we “kiss” that I believe things may work out between us. But now rumors say Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. The penalty for breaking the rules is exile. Just when I have found her, will I have to send my mate away? Alien Attraction I’m Sunny Weathers. You probably recognize me from my reality show, Sunny Weathers’ Excellent Adventures. I’ve had to perform crazy stunts in my career, but this one takes the cake! The producers are sending me to another planet to become an alien’s mail-order bride. As soon my contract is up, I’ll be leaving planet Dakon. Unfortunately, I hadn’t counted on my attraction to Mr. Tall, “Darq,” and Handsome… I’m Darq. The moment I laid eyes on the female with pretty mud-colored hair and a sunny smile, I knew she was mine. Competition for females is fierce, and I was determined to claim a mate from the latest shipment from Earth, so I broke the rules. If anyone finds out, I’ll lose my mate. Alien Intention I’m Stormy Weathers. My love life on Earth is one natural disaster after the other. I’m attracted to bad boys. In a crowd of choirboys, I’ll find the jerk. All I want is a man who’ll love me and my young son, so I’m going to become an alien’s mail-order bride.The chemistry I feel with Romando is electric. A mutual attraction this strong can’t be wrong… I’m Romando, an outcast in my own tribe. One rash, angry act turned me into a pariah and almost got me banished. But what everyone resents the most is that I’m one of the lucky few who’ll be getting a mate. The instant Stormy Weathers blows into Dakon with the other Earth females, my horns tingle. Unfortunately, she’s related to my nemesis responsible for my outcast state. Honor requires I reject her as a suitable mate. Alien Mischief My name is Madison Altman. Don’t think because I’ve disguised myself as a man and have accepted a job that takes me away from Earth that I’m running away from love. I met the love of my life—but he was killed on our wedding day. Chaperoning women to Dakon to become the mail-order brides of aliens pays the bills. Unfortunately, the ship returned to Earth without me! Luckily, Enoki came to my rescue. He might be hot, and sexy as hell with his gravelly voice and throbbing horns, but he believes I’m a man, and we’re friends, not lovers. As soon as Enoki can get me a flight back, I’m going home. I’m Enoki, leader of Dakon. The Fates whispered my mate was coming. But when the females arrived, none of them was mine. Now I must help the stranded Earth man return to his planet. Even though Madison is a Terran, we’ve developed a strong bond. I’ll miss him, but because we’re friends, I intend to do everything I can to help him leave. Why do the whispers tell me not to let him go?
