Stranded

Mars Academy #1

by S.E. Gilchrist

The Find and claim a new earth
Indoctrinated since birth by revolutionary parents, Cleo has no time for close friendships and even less for boyfriends. Freshly graduated from the Mars Academy, she’s on her first intergalactic mission and desperate to meet her parents’ expectations. All is on course when a solar flare damages her shuttle and she crash-lands on a watery wasteland of a planet.
Two generations ago, Kai's people fled their home-world after being invaded. They now live on super-ships that prowl beneath the planet's murky waters. When he ‘hears’ the cry of his destined mate, he discovers she is alone and stranded. And an alien. How can such a strange being be meant for him?
Worse, if he helps her, he risks exposing their location to the enemy.

Cliffhanger ending!!

Tepid romance & world building.
Only recommended as filler.
