HELP! I Got Abducted by Aliens Then Fell in Love on an Intergalactic Reality Show! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264879005)

Maya Chen doesn't believe in love. Alex Rivera can't afford to.

She's a marketing analyst who thinks romance is just brain chemistry dressed up in a Hallmark card. He's a bookstore owner one bad month away from bankruptcy. Their most meaningful relationship? With coffee.

Then they get abducted by aliens.

Turns out, their meet-cute at a Chicago coffee shop wasn't fate-it was carefully orchestrated by intergalactic reality TV producers. Now they're contestants on Love is a Universal Language, where couples compete in increasingly absurd challenges while seventeen galaxies watch, judge, and place bets on their romantic potential.

The rules are simple: Fall in love or fall into a fire planet.

Armed with nothing but sarcasm, two mysteriously mutated cats, and a 97% synchronization rating they absolutely didn't ask for, Maya and Alex must navigate trust falls from hell, murderous philosophical fruit, emotional goo that makes terrible life choices contagious, and a disco-mantis host who thinks "romantic" means "life-threatening."

As the challenges escalate and their forced proximity becomes something dangerously real, Maya and Alex discover the most terrifying truth of all: their feelings might not be fake anymore.

But in a show where even love is manufactured for entertainment, how can they trust what's real? And with a sinister breeding program lurking beneath the sparkles and alien champagne, escape might be their only option-if they can survive each other first.

A hilarious sci-fi romantic comedy about finding love in the worst possible place, trusting someone with your life (literally), and why you should always read the terms and conditions on coffee shop WiFi.
