The Alien and the Teacher — Susan Kelley

Gwen is exhilarated to be part of Earth's first space colony until a handsome alien with his own agenda makes contact.


The remnants of humanity have fled the dying Earth for the stars. Teacher and historian, Gwen Lively, finds every thing about the new planet exciting until a handsome alien makes contact and warns them of danger even as he helps them survive.

Aletian Painter Traveler isn't merely intrigued by the Earthlings. The existence of this sentient species could be the answer to his race's desperate situation. The Earthling women are beautiful beyond dreams and none more than Gwen. But their barbaric approach to colonization is too similar to the warlike past that nearly destroyed Aleta.

Painter's secret agenda and the violent actions of a few Earthlings destroy his growing relationship with Gwen. If they can't mend their broken trust, both of their people will face extinction.
