I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com

by Kimberly Lemming

Part of Cosmic Chaos

First published 2025

Dorothy Valentine is weeks away from finishing her PhD in wildlife biology when a lion attack takes a sharp left turn: she and the lion both get abducted by aliens. Dory scrambles for the exit, the lion follows, and the two of them hijack an escape pod together. It crashes on an alien planet populated by dinosaurs. She had prepared for exactly zero of this. A mysterious alien named Sol pulls them out of immediate danger. Then comes Lok, equally dangerous, equally hard to ignore, and possibly a war criminal. Dory names the lion Toto and tries to focus on survival. That gets harder as the four of them travel together, fight off prehistoric creatures, and start to feel like something more than strangers thrown together by bad luck. Dory begins piecing together why this specific group ended up on this specific planet. The answer is stranger than she expected. Meanwhile she has a growing problem: she is falling for both Sol and Lok, and she is no longer sure she wants to find a way back to Earth. A funny, steamy science-fiction romance from the author of I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf.
