After being abducted from her worldly life, on the horizon of her first national tour, a snarky rising DJ wakes to find herself unchaperoned aboard a prodigious starship with only an obstinate AI and her quirky rescue cat for companions, until an SOS beacon plunges her into her first alien encounter, and their intergalactic baggage. She must learn to trust these new extraterrestrial strangers or risk never returning to Earth in time for her set, forever ruining her credibility with her fans and exalted K-pop band.

Coming 2026
Welcome, new friend! Harlow can't wait for you to join her and other readers in the Blackthorne Club lounge!
Harlow is a voracious reader turned indie author.
She stumbled into the Why Choose romance genre in early 2020 by accident, and quickly became enraptured.
Since then, she's devoured over 3,000 books, predominantly in the romance genre.
Her own characters began fighting for attention in her mind, clambering for their stories to be told.
After much encouragement, she pursued penning those tales and currently has 3 series in production.
Her heroines tend to be flawed, bold, spirited, and full of snark and ambition.
The men are as varied as a box of chocolates. There's something for everyone–and yes, you can devour the entirety without choosing. No judgement.
She loves a good plot twist, and isn't afraid of a cliffhanger.

My eyes widen as the AI activates brat mode, lighting up the hallway floors to my right with yellow lights. "Oh Raven, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," I chuckle, my lips quirking up. "And don't you dare ruin it with logic now, Spock."

"You became impassioned about women's rights, then began shouting 'free the tatas', and shedding your clothes."
Yep. Space seltzers officially go in the FAAFO life category, alongside OG Four Lokos and feral hamsters.
