Choosing Theo
by Aveline, Victoria
Jade is thrust into a terrifying new reality when she is sold into a human-trafficking ring and ends up on an alien world. She is eventually claimed by Theo, a member of a species that values consent and protection, turning her desperate struggle for survival into a tense, intimate negotiation of trust. The story moves at a deliberate, emotional pace, stripping away the comfort of Earth to focus entirely on the friction and eventual spark between two beings who have no business being together. It is less about high-octane space battles and more about the quiet, heavy atmosphere of two people learning to communicate through a language barrier and deep-seated trauma. This is for readers who want their sci-fi romance to feel grounded, raw, and centered on the slow, careful construction of a partnership.
