Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Angela Knight blends sci-fi worldbuilding with raw emotional vulnerability and BDSM romance in a way that feels earned rather than gratuitous. The heroine's PTSD and the hero's survivor guilt make their connection achingly real, and the invisible monster threat keeps the tension cranked to eleven.

Synopsis

Can two Rangers find love when they’re haunted by invisible monsters -- inside and out ? Earth civilians are obsessed with selfies and social media, but my life revolves around alien starships, superhuman strength, and A.I. implants. Too bad none of it helped when I was captured and tortured. Now I crave revenge, but as a genetically engineered Ranger, I must obey Mothership ’s protect humanity. Never kill. When another alien ship sends monsters to invade Earth, Mothership ’s Rangers must stop them. My new Ranger teammate is everything I shouldn’t handsome, skilled, and haunted by his own dark past. He helped rescue me from torture, but it cost him his entire team. Now I’m the mess he’s got to clean up. Battling invisible monsters may be the death of us, but our mutual attraction is undeniable. Can we stop an alien invasion despite our dangerous chemistry ? Copyright All Changeling Press LLC publications and cover art are copyright and may not be used in any AI generated work.
