The Lost Data — Kevin Weinberg

Officer Lucas Avery is furious. After three years of defending Earth from hostile alien invaders, he's just found himself taken off active duty-to babysit a spoiled rich girl. And she isn't happy! She's forced to leave her luxurious life behind and go into hiding with a lower-class lout. What does she care if he's some kind of war hero who looks disturbingly yummy without his shirt? She just wanted to be left alone. But her father insists some big, bad, red aliens are planning to kidnap her, and this time, she doesn't get her way for a change. She is Lara Descartes, daughter of the richest man in the world. She has standards to uphold. And she is not about to let some military boy or big, scary, horned beasts make her lower them for anything.A young adult scifi romance from Ellora's CavePublisher's Note: This book was published in 2013 as Catalyst.
