In this romantic science fiction novella, an amnesiac, lovesick, sentient alien named ELIZA can transform her outer shell (pictured on front cover) into virtually anything. She can recreate memories from reading human minds and move seamlessly between planes of existence. With her insatiable energy, she creates lucrative new medical devices for her savior and benefactor, Dr. John Sterk, with just a thought. The one thing this lovesick alien can't do is find companionship. Drew Pierce is a young mechanical engineer with a troubled background. Hired by Sterk Enterprises to satisfy ELIZA's cravings for human interactions, Drew soon finds himself caught in a difficult, and potentially dangerous, situation. Not only must he juggle the morally questionable demands of his boss and the desires of a petulant out-of- control alien, but he must find time for his fianc e, Susan. In their sessions together, ELIZA and Drew explore the dynamics of human relationships. Before long ELIZA recovers her memories and learns the dark secret behind her benefactor's generosity: Sterk has been keeping her a virtual slave for his own greed. In retaliation, ELIZA unleashes her full potential. The only person who can control her now may be Drew Pierce, the man who unwittingly served Sterk Enterprise's demands while capturing ELIZA's heart. In this sexually-charged science fiction tale, ELIZA, Dr. Dale A. Grove offers an engrossing story of innocence, exploitation, companionship, and one pissed off alien.
