Close Liaisons — Barbara Custer

Cassandra Kelly is without a year of her life -- a year that has gone missing. People from that year are back to wreak havoc in her life. Her resolve is strong, but fragments of missing time rain down on her with fury, placing her at the threshold of the truth to an uncertain past.

A mysterious visitor approaches Heather, a timid, bullied high school student, with the solution to her problems -- or so she thinks. Now she finds herself in the thick of a subversive alien invasion.

From the cities of USA to the balloon trees on Dorjyn, and a vast galaxy in between, Close Liaisons offers two different tales of heroic aliens bent on rescuing the human race, evil aliens intending to destroy it, and a healthy dose of sensual probing in between.
