Bound Across Worlds

When teleportation makes contact with planet X possible, Earth begins a bold exchange program: young Xians will live with humans to learn modern life, then return home to teach their people.

Helmut, a quiet 24-year-old AI developer in Perth, inherits a house and agrees to host a visitor. He expects curiosity—perhaps even companionship—but what he gets is far greater.

Aani is unlike anyone he has ever known: beautiful, strong, and disarmingly innocent of Earth's ways. From her fascination with cars and television, to her fear of night and wonder at pets, every moment is discovery. Their lives entwine, their affection deepens, and soon they are living like husband and wife. But Aani's visa is expiring, and duty pulls her back to her world.

The separation is unbearable—until a message changes everything. Aani is carrying his child. Helmut must choose between the life he has known and the love he cannot live without.

Bound Across Worlds is a tender, sensual romantasy that bridges two worlds. It explores love across cultures, the blending of families, and the strength of a bond that defies planets and traditions.
