    About this ebook

    Rachel doesn’t believe in Little Green Men, but she’s got a serious thing for Max. Wait, make that Rachel doesn’t believe in Little Green Men until her dog attacks one in the woods.

    Max really likes Rachel, but what woman is going to want a guy totally obsessed with aliens? Then she turns up on his doorstep with an injured Extraterrestrial Biological Entity. Now they have to figure out how to help the alien without tipping off the FBI agent who has been surveilling Max.


    Ranley is just hoping to survive overprotective dogs, stupid co-workers and well-meaning superiors and get out of this situation with a couple of cool scars and a nice cushy lecturing job in Xenoexobiology.
