Purgatory Gap: A Small Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Book 2)

An open war to win buried riches.
An intimate battle to win love forever.

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the earth hides a secret. A treasure for those brave enough to claim it. A crushing deathtrap for the unwary.
Dalton Luscarri’s sworn enemies covet the riches buried below Purgatory Gap. The Sumarrs’ bold invasion of the valley that has been disputed between them and the Luscarris for centuries means war.
Yet Dal is distracted by his growing need for the Outsider Claire McCann. He’s gripped by a fierce bond, one begun in sacrifice, but not yet completed. What has begun between them is powerful, but not inevitable. He is Varkan, alien, shifter; Claire is human. She must choose.
Claire is plagued by nightmares of her recent captivity in the Sumarr compound: pain, blood, a fight against something otherworldly. What happened to her the night she was rescued from that horrible place? And why are her thoughts consumed with Dal Luscarri, a man she hardly knows?
If it’s true, as the Varkans believe, that the ancestors choose bondmates for life, then Dal and Claire must defend their future together, a future tied to what lies beneath the mountain called Heart of Broken Stone, at the foot of Purgatory Gap.
