Well, if by aliens we mean 'evil Uncle trying to steal inheritance.'
I am currently obsessed with Anna Campbell's Untouched. I really should check out more books of hers, because this, just like Captive of Sin, seems to indicate she is really really into hurt/comfort fantasies extraordinaire (CoS was pretty much one giant h/c fantasy).
In Untouched, our heroine, Grace Paget, a 25-yr-old widow, is having the worst luck ever - she is mistaken for a hooker by two brutish, evil lackeys of not-brutish but evil Lord John somebody-or-other, and is kidnapped as an offering to distract Lord' John's nephew, the insane young marquess of something, called Matthew. Once at the isolated estate, she finds out that Matthew is not insane and is as much a helpless (and majorly mistreated) prisoner as she is and will not lay a hand on her. They find kinship and friendship but the fact remains - if she doesn't seduce him, she gets killed. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangst. And h/c and true love and Grace and Matthew trying to outwit the bad guy. It's yummy. Also, the book is majorly unusual in having the hero be the virgin one.
Now I am off to read more of the delicious aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangst.
