Her genre are Romance, Science Fiction

A girl with her eyes on the stars, but her feet firmly planted on Earth.

And if I can't go to the aliens, I'll just have to bring them to me. Or to my books, at least.
I love exploring the relationships we have with others, especially with those who are different from us. So writing about the similarities and differences we may have with a cold-blooded alien species from another solar system was a no-brainer.
I grew up reading romance, science fiction and fantasy, and I love them all. And I also love down-to-earth stories about *people*, so I hope that comes across in my books!

Her Cold-Blooded Protector
(Levekk Invaders #1)
by Lea Linnett

It’s not easy being human when Earth is run by aliens.

Lena has been locked up, imprisoned in a multi-species penitentiary on Earth, and all she wants is to get back to what she’s good at: keeping her sister safe.

Kormak is a levekk—a member of the same cold-blooded, alien species that enslaved her planet—and he is the key to her escape.

Kormak hates humans, and he’s not afraid to show it. They burn hot and bright but are snuffed out quickly, and the last thing he wants is a human slowing him down.

But she needs a protector, and he’s drawn to her flame. When an accident derails their escape and strands them in the wintry wilderness, just who will end up saving whom?

Her Cold-Blooded Master
(Levekk Invaders #2)
by Lea Linnett

Are his claws a cage? Or a refuge?
All Ellie has ever wanted is freedom, but that's hard to find when Earth is under levekk rule. She'll do anything for a better life under the domes of the city--even pledge herself to work as a housemaid for a member of the same alien species she's supposed to fear.
Except her new boss isn't the clean-cut senator that he pretends to be.
His icy eyes are like daggers, and his presence is captivating, but captivity isn't what Ellie signed up for. Signing that contract was meant to free her from poverty, not snare her in an entirely new type of cage.
--
Helik has been trapped in a lie for so long that he's forgotten who the real him even is. Instead, he defines himself by what he tries not to be: deviant, hungry, wrong.
But Ellie is in his life, in his home, under his skin. She threatens to crack open the perfect mask that holds his self-control, and he fears the darkness that hides beneath.
Can he master his desire for her? Or will he condemn them both?

Her Cold-Blooded Mercenary
(Levekk Invaders #3)
by Lea Linnett

He’s a lover. She’s a fighter.

Taz has always fought; for herself as a child, for her sister as an adult, and for her people as a rebel. And the levekk—the aliens who invaded her planet centuries earlier—have always been her enemy.

So when her leader hires a levekk mercenary from off-planet, Taz knows she can’t trust him. It’s bad enough that he’s a mercenary, but with his wandering eyes and teasing tongue, it’s obvious he’s the worst kind of levekk: a tourist.

But there are humans missing from New Chicago, and Kamanek is the only one who’ll help her get them back. If she wants to keep fighting for her people, she might have to ask the very alien she should hate the most for help—one who makes her blood boil in more ways than one.

—

Kamanek is on the run and desperate—why else would he come to a fringe planet with such archaic laws about who he’s allowed to take to his bed? But CL-32 does have its perks…

And the fiery human who greeted him with a blade to the face might just be the greatest one. She’s as explosive as fireworks and hot enough to burn, but he’s been trained from childhood to keep his attachments skin-deep. Skin and scales can heal, after all.

But the feelings she awakens in him are dangerous—more dangerous than anything his life as a mercenary can throw at him—and if they run deep enough, they might just be fatal.
