Forget about Tomorrow — Liz Kreger

Larissalyia Ashanti is hiding out on Earth, a barbarian planet unsanctified by the FOW -- Federation of Worlds -- and on the run from an intergalactic mob boss who plans to use her as leverage to force her magistrate father to clear his criminal record.

Mac, an earthman, witnesses the evidence of aliens when the mob catches up with Lacey. After he helps her fight them off, she does the only thing she can think of -- she kidnaps him and takes him with her as she flees Earth. Mac learns the answer to that age old question of whether there's life out there in spades. But not only does he have to convince Lacey that his numerous skills are indispensable, he has to find a way into her heart.

The chase is just beginning...and so are the romance, adventure and danger as they cross the universe in search of safety and answers.
