Alien Contact for Runaway Moms

She’s running from an abusive lover…but what is she running to?

When Audra Verhailey’s abusive lover tries to take custody of her baby, she flees where even he 
can’t follow: the aliens’ forbidden cities underneath Kwadra Island. But can the safety she wants for her daughter survive a search party, violent alien criminals—and the love of an emotionally damaged Kwadran?

Tal Pelletier’s life has degenerated into drinking, fighting, and physical labor, but he used to be a brilliant technician. When Audra asks his help sneaking into Kwadra’s abandoned cities, it represents a second chance, because she and her baby remind him of the wife and child he lost. But can he protect them from the killers—and, more importantly, the demons inside him?

Edward Hoornaert is not only an author of science fiction, romance, and non-fiction,
he's also a certifiable Harlequin Hero; he inspired N.Y. Times bestselling author Vicki
Lewis Thompson to write her favorite Harlequin Desire, Mr. Valentine, which was
dedicated to him. In the past, he wrote contemporary romances for Silhouette Books, but
these days he writes science fiction adventures—usually with elements of romance. In
addition to novelist, he has been a teacher, technical writer, salesman, janitor, and
symphonic oboist.

After having 30 different addresses in his first 28 years, his rolling stone slowed in
the mountains of British Columbia and stopped in Tucson, Arizona. His high school
sweetheart has been his wife for more years than he has fingers and toes to count. Ed and
Judi have three sons, a daughter, a mutt, and the Milky Way Galaxy's most adorable
grandsons. Wesley and Logan were major inspirations for Alien Contact for Runaway Moms.
