Phoenix Rising — Bethany Shaw

The invasion has begun, and he's the only one who can stop them.

Zephyr Cree's mission is to stop the aliens that are terrorizing the galaxy. He takes his warship to the planet Earth to rescue the human race. When he meets Addison Montgomery, he is inspired by her tenacity, and maybe just a little bit smitten with the gorgeous human. The last thing he needs is a distraction, but fate has other things in mind.

Stranded in a remote location during an alien invasion was the last thing Addison Montgomery expected when she ventured out on a fieldtrip with a bus full of second graders. Daughter of one of the top generals in the country, everyone is turning to her for answers. It's a role she didn't ask for and doesn't want, but she knows she has to protect everyone she can. When the dangerous aliens attack, Addison prepares to fight them, but at the last minute a fiery phoenix swoops in to save the day -- literally. There's not just one alien species on the planet but two. Now she just has to convince the hot phoenix shifter, Zephyr, to help her save the world, while keeping her libidio in check around him, no big deal, right?
