Stardusted

A slow-burn sci-fi rom-com about secrets, sparks, and a galaxy's worth of trouble. It's definitely not aliens At least, Raven Barrister's pretty sure it isn't. Between double shifts, looming exams, and an embarrassingly intense crush on her way-too-attractive bartender coworker, Sky, she doesn't have time for alien nonsense, anyway. But everything changes the night she crashes into a UFO. Suddenly there's a glowing artifact, a robot that isn't from around here, unexplained lights in the sky... and Raven's starting to think maybe it is time to put the extra in extraterrestrial. Marked with strange symbols and haunted by memories no one else has, she doesn't know what to believe. The only person with answers may be the one guy she's no longer sure she can trust: Sky. He's hiding something. Something big. Too bad nobody gave her the study guide for cosmic chemistry, galaxy-sized problems, or... you know, what to do when your crush might not be from this planet. It's definitely not aliens...but what if it is? For fans of The X-Files and Roswell, Stardusted is the first book in a voicey, high-stakes sci-fi romcom series packed with banter, slow-burn tension, alien tech, and found-family chaos. It's not a traditional romance since there's no tidy ending here (yet!). But the chemistry's undeniable, and the stardust hasn't settled. Buckle up for a spaceship ride with eventual open-door spice, glowing mysteries, and aliens that just keep getting hotter.
