She's a quirky human who's always dreamed of falling in love with an alien. He's an actual extraterrestrial hiding on Earth. And neither realizes their online crush is about to become an out-of-this-world romance.

Tamzir Jaarn, better known online as Seeker, has a serious problem.

He's an alien stranded on Earth.

After sneaking away for an unauthorized vacation on a forbidden planet, Tamzir discovers that his ride home has completely abandoned him.

Now he's been stuck among humans for nearly a year.

His equipment is deteriorating.

His food supply is becoming a problem.

And if his camouflage technology fails?

He could end up as the government's newest science experiment.

Not exactly the relaxing vacation he had in mind.

But Earth hasn't been entirely terrible.

While trying to survive, Tamzir has made some surprisingly wonderful human friends online.

And when they invite him to attend the biggest space-themed convention around, he figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he searches for a way home.

After all, what better place for a real alien to hide than a convention full of people dressed like aliens?

Enter Jennette Hammond.

Proud nerd.

Alien enthusiast.

Collector of adorable extraterrestrial memorabilia.

And a woman who has spent practically her entire life hoping the universe contains something—or someone—extraordinary.

Jennette has always believed in aliens. She's just never expected to fall for one.

For years, she's dreamed of attending Space Con with friends who share her obsession with all things extraterrestrial.

Now she's finally getting her chance.

Even better?

She'll finally meet Seeker, the mysterious online friend she's been crushing on for ages.

What Jennette doesn't know is that the charming man behind the screen is hiding the biggest secret imaginable.

He's not pretending to be from another planet. He actually is.

As their online chemistry transforms into an undeniable real-life attraction, Jennette finds herself falling for the sweet, mysterious stranger who seems almost too perfect to be human.

Meanwhile, Tamzir discovers that the planet he's desperate to escape might hold the one thing he never expected to find.

Love.

But falling for a human comes with complications when you're secretly an alien whose survival depends on remaining undetected.

With his technology failing and the possibility of returning home growing more uncertain, Tamzir must decide whether protecting his secret is worth risking the connection he's found with Jennette.

And Jennette?

She might finally get the close encounter she's always dreamed of—just not in the way she imagined.

Quirky, hilarious, and delightfully romantic, I Think I'm in Love with an Alien delivers a feel-good sci-fi romantic comedy filled with nerdy humor, online crushes, secret identities, adorable awkwardness, and an extraterrestrial hero who discovers that love might be the greatest adventure in the galaxy.
