Broken Mom, Gentle Alien

A Novel in The Empath Alliance Chronicles

She fled across the galaxy to escape him. She didn't expect to find someone who could feel every fear she tried to hide.

Lila Maren has spent years building walls, around her heart, around her secrets, around the bruises her husband left behind. When his lawyers threaten to take her five-year-old son, she makes the desperate choice to seek asylum among the Valyri, empathic aliens who've established settlements for human refugees.

But the Valyri can sense emotions. And Lila has so many she's trying to hide.

Kairis is a settlement liaison haunted by his failure to protect his last human charge. He doesn't want another assignment. Doesn't want to feel another human's pain, knowing he might fail them too.

But when he senses the terror Lila is fighting to hide, and the fierce, desperate love she carries for her son, he can't walk away. Even when staying means confronting everything he's spent years trying to forget.

What they'll discover together: •

• That strength doesn't mean never needing help
• That being truly seen is the greatest gift, and the greatest risk
• That healing doesn't have to happen alone
• That some wounds can only be healed by love

As Lila rebuilds her shattered life and Kairis confronts his own grief, they'll find that the connection between them transcends species, transcends pain, transcends everything either of them thought possible.
