Holding out for a Hero
Jelvia: Not Human book 1
While the memories of those living on Earth reform, an alien species embeds into our world.
And like most people, Macy is oblivious to the invasion of Jelvias.
She thinks their species is oppressed by Human society and wants to use her journalistic prowess to inform the world.
In a chance encounter, she meets an enigmatic Jelvia called Narcifer, who is as charming as good-looking. Her boss, impressed by Macy’s lack of fear, sets her on a mission for the ‘scoop of the century’. Enthralled by this opportunity, Macy wonders how she’ll ever meet Narcifer again until he shows up to save her life.
Holding out for a Hero
Love- and career- struck, she doesn’t realise she’s being played until she’s head over heels in love with Narcifer.
The Jelvia: Not Human series spans one year in the lifetime of Macy Shaw until her memory returns, and the truth, emerges.
Holding out for a Hero is the only book in the series that can be read as a standalone.
