Alienated

Alienated by Melissa Landers      

Cara has mixed feelings about hosting a student from the planet L'eihrs.  On the good side- it will provide her with tons of opportunities.  She will get a scholarship for college.  Her blog is getting lots of hits.  She has even has press engagements!  The downside- most of her friends can't stand the thought of aliens on the planet, much less in school.  When Cara meets her exchange student Aelyx, she is even less sure how she feels.  He's handsome.  And articulate.  And smart.  And also arrogant.  And secretive.

Then Cara and Aelyx begin to develop feelings for each other but he is still hiding something from her.  Their respective planets have a lot riding on this exchange program being successful and there is intense scrutiny from the media.  Cara finds herself fighting with her boyfriend and her best friend.  Next thing she knows, there are protestors outside of her school and she has to be escorted everywhere for her own safety.  Now, Cara and Aelyx find themselves together on an uncertain path.

This has romance, mystery, and conflict.  What would you give up for your planet?  For love?
