Her safe cocoon is about to break open as Paradise 21 looms only one month away, and she must take the aptitude tests to determine her role on the new world and her computer assigned lifemate. As a great-granddaughter of the Commander of the ship, she wants to live up to her family name. But, her forbidden love for her childhood friend, Sirius, distracts her and she fails the tests. The results place her in a menial role in the new colony and pair her with Corvus, “the oaf”.

But when Andromeda steps foot on Paradise 21, her predestined future is the least of her worries. Alien ghosts from a failed colonization warn her of a deadly threat to her colony. And when Sirius’s ship crashes on the far ridge in an attempt to investigate, she journeys to rescue him with Corvus.

Andromeda now must convince the authorities of the imminent danger to keep her protect her new home. What she didn’t expect was a battle of her own feelings for Sirius and Corvus.

Can she save the colony and discover her true love?

What makes Corvus so irresistible by the end of the book?

Corvus is the underdog in Colonization: Paradise Reclaimed. He’s competing with Andromeda’s childhood crush. At first she’s blind to everything he does, but as she gets to know him, she discovers there’s much more there than she thought, putting him in the running for her heart.What makes Corvus so charming is not the way he looks on the outside- although he’s not ugly, by far- it’s how he treats Andromeda, and the lengths he’ll go to win her love. Everything Corvus does, he does for her. In writing Colonization, I wanted all the girls out there to know there are other fish in the sea. I was sick of reading YA books where the jerky, arrogant, better-looking-than-he-should-be-for-his-own-good guy always gets the girl. There are sweet, kind hearted guys that will treat you right out there that don’t fall into the bad-boy category, yet they are just as charming.

Find out in Colonization: Paradise Reclaimed if Andromeda makes the right choice.
