Blurb:
Enter Eric Moran, the intensely attractive and enigmatic new coworker on the scene. With his quiet confidence and warm smile, he manages to draw Palta’s attention. Little does she know that he, too, holds a secret…one that will propel them both into an escalating collision of two worlds.
Dr. Palta Capal would be a typical American career woman…if only she were human.
She
has found her calling in this world as a physician. It’s an ideal
outlet for her compassionate spirit...and unearthly healing powers.
Palta
may spend her nights rereading Jane Austen novels, but she deliberately
avoids pursuing her own love story. Human men — attractive as they may
be — inevitably grow old and wither, leaving her to grieve in solitude.
Frankly, no one has seemed worth the torment.
Enter Eric Moran, the intensely attractive and enigmatic new coworker on the scene. With his quiet confidence and warm smile, he manages to draw Palta’s attention. Little does she know that he, too, holds a secret…one that will propel them both into an escalating collision of two worlds.

Title: Relativity
Proximity Series Book #2
By M.A. George
Publication Date: January 9, 2013 
No matter the planet, Palta Capal is an alien.
She’s
lived a lifetime where she never belonged…but relocating to the “home
world” she’s never seen has her feeling more like an outsider than ever.
Teetering
between the thrill of newfound love and the despair of family loss—not
to mention the looming threat of global war—Palta doesn’t need any more
excitement in her life.
But what she needs and what she gets are two entirely different things.

Ecerpt: Relativity Chapter 5
As we approached Apaica, I stood alongside Sabela and Dominick at one of the main
corridor windows, straining for our first view of the space station. Aeron and Ewenami were on
the upper level controlling the ship as we slowed our speed.
“What do you suppose it looks like?” Dominick wondered.
“Judging from the fact that this ship is a relic from the past by their standards, there is
no telling…” I kept my eyes glued on the window—for some reason afraid to blink, lest I miss
the big reveal. I was prepared for a technological marvel; but Aeron’s playful secrecy had me
wondering precisely what kind of magical, mystical wonders awaited us.
We stood in silent anticipation for a few minutes more. Eventually, a softly glowing dot
appeared in the distance, slowly expanding into a jade green orb. There were no visible land or
water masses, just ethereal swirls and bands of pale green and white. It was quite lovely—and
awe-inspiring in the way any celestial body would be—yet it was not the reason for my wide-
I was only able to make out two of the three space stations I knew to be in orbit
about Apaica, but they were enough to overwhelm my sensory input. They were similar in
appearance—each composed of a tall, gently spiraling central column with massive platforms
projecting outward. They reminded me of a bonsai tree my father had maintained for years—its
trunk coiling upward with tufts of greenery sprouting off at intervals along the way. In this case,
each “tuft” seemed to constitute a small city.
As we drew near to what I presumed was Apaica Meña, I could make out the
unmistakable signs of people busy with the activities of everyday life. Numerous ships floated
from one level to another, while other smaller vehicles jetted about within the confines of a
given platform. Strangely, there didn’t seem to be any enclosures protecting the platforms from
the vacuum of space. They appeared to be open-air cities…As if someone had scooped up a
futuristic version of Anytown, USA and plopped it on a massive platter. There were buildings
large and small, interconnected by a network of roads, and what appeared to be large public
parks—complete with grass, lakes, and trees.
My brow furrowed with a disbelieving expression. “Trees?” I blinked a few times to
make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me. “How can there be trees?...” I shook my head, the
corner of my mouth turning up into a little smirk, as I thought of Aeron’s cryptic response to my
remark about missing the fresh air. “And what is that cloud of foggy haze around everything…Is
that smog?” It wasn’t like Aeron to hide a pollution problem.
“It’s an artificial atmosphere…” Sabela and Dominick replied in unison.
I peeled my eyes away from the spectacle to look sharply in their direction, annoyed that
they were already in on the scoop. Neither of them noticed, as they stood with identical looks of
starry-eyed wonder. Sabela’s legs were actually fidgeting, on the verge of jumping up and down
like a kid at Christmas. I decided to let them off the hook…They couldn’t help the fact that they were hard-core science geeks.
“So…an artificial atmosphere, huh?” I muttered to myself with a scoff. “That makes
perfect sense…How the heck did they make an artificial atmosphere?”
Sabela finally broke out of her trance to look my way with an elated smile, “Well, it’s
really quite ingenious—”
“Never mind, nerdy girl,” I wrapped my arm around her shoulder with a teasing smile. “I
