The Intrusion

2020

Is their arrival humanity's end—or a new beginning? Nearing high school graduation, Tilly Morgan’s eager to leave her small Texas town. Armed with a plan to start fresh with her older sister in Florida, her dreams go up in smoke when the planet goes dark. An electromagnetic pulse ravages Earth, rendering the world’s electrical grid useless. No technology. No modern conveniences. No power. Widespread panic tears across the country and roving bands of looters and rioters overpower the weak. Braving each incoming threat with the town's bad boy at her side, Tilly learns what it means to protect the ones she loves. When black spaceships descend from the sky, an even greater threat looms over mankind—a fate far worse than the loss of electricity…

The Descendant

2019

She wants her world back; he wants her heart. Tilly Morgan and her four-legged companion, Kodiak, are just trying to survive the alien arrival. Two years ago, the visitors unleashed devastation—a world-wide EMP followed by a deadly virus that wiped out more than half of humanity. Traversing the lonely landscape, she runs into an alien on patrol with one order: eradicate all human life. A mysterious, dark-haired stranger named Jareth comes to her aid, and she reluctantly allows him to join her quest to find her sister. He even persuades her to let the damaged alien tag along against her better judgment. As her group travels the desolate world and inches closer to her goal, she’s forced to examine her unwanted feelings for Jareth and come to terms with her heart, even if the truth threatens to destroy her and everything she’s come to believe.

The Betrayer

2019

Surrender her heart or save the world? The Henokans, in hot pursuit of the Baltins, have arrived on Earth. Escorted to the last major remnant of humans and the most secure stronghold in the United States, Tilly’s given two cooperate or die. The United States Air Force and the Henokan army have formed an alliance called DAWN, and they plan to use her as bait to prevent an otherwise inevitable war. General Lathan Rhys, the Henokan leader and Baltin Prince’s archenemy, wants more than her cooperation, though; he wants vengeance and companionship. As Tilly and Kodiak come to terms with their new reality, she’s forced to re-examine the little she knows of Jareth. General Rhys urges her to forget about him and help heal what remains of humanity. The choice should be simple, but love demands a steep price. But when Tilly re-emerges into the world, she sees a bigger picture of the damage and injustice the Baltins have inflicted. Humans need help. Can she do her part to save what’s left of humanity and continue the journey to find her sister? Will one more of Jareth’s lies push her over the edge in the fight for her heart and planet? Only one thing’s for sure—he’ll never back down when it comes to holding her love, even if it means destroying everything in his path.

Love is war. Jareth’s final betrayal pushes Tilly over the edge. Desperate to shove him out of her heart like a bad memory, she falls into despair.
