Unearthed Blurb
Life on Earth was
just getting interesting for Tess MacKenzie. She’d postponed
her singing career to support the family business and after
eight long years, she finally earned her chance to shine. Her
band was hot, her songs were rocking and Tess was on her way to
becoming a star.
Things were definitely looking up.
That is until Cohl Travers, alien extraordinaire, swoops out of
the night sky and snatches her off her planet. When he says he
desperately needs her voice for a dangerous cosmic mission and
the fate of two planets hangs on her song, she figures one of
them is in for some serious therapy. Tess soon finds herself up
to her neck in smelly bad guys, a robot with a superiority
complex, an ancient Amulet that could end her singing career
permanently and a man who can burn her from the inside out.
Cohl Travers thought he was free and clear of his destiny to
become the next ruler of his planet. But when the warring Trakas
abduct his father and hold him hostage for the Amulet, Cohl is
dragged back to a fate he does not want with a woman he cannot
ignore.
Together, they might defeat the Trakas – but what is Cohl
supposed to do about the feelings that Tess has unearthed in
him.
