Summary from Goodreads:
Can Miranda save the human race?
An elegant, sophisticated alien species on the verge of extinction has invaded
Earth and confined an entire generation of young women, after negotiating a
treaty with the world’s governments. Eager to help the aliens reproduce, but
frightened by her imprisonment at Nidus, the Eslite medical compound,
sixteen-year-old Miranda Mays endures callous scientific experiments in the
Eslite’s quest for survival.
When Miranda discovers the ultimate consequences of her egg donations, she
organizes a rebellion, enlisting fellow donors in her cause. But soon she
realizes the mysterious headmaster, Dimas, knows of her plot. And there’s
something about him that bothers Miranda, though she can’t describe it. The
fate of humanity hangs in the balance, so she can’t back down. But will Dimas
expose her defiance?

had me in a trance. I noticed everything about him. From his debonair smile, to his square jaw,
and his perfectly sculpted body that belonged in a Calvin Klein underwear ad. The guy was hot.
What the heck was wrong with me?
That freakin’ alien might rape me.
I had to be losing it. He was pure evil. Wasn’t he?
I dug my fingernails into my palm, and the pain broke our connection.
“Consider them an early birthday gift.”
What? How did he know my birthdate? Oh, wait, they’d poked and prodded every hole in
my body, of course he would know my birthday. But why would he observe an earthly custom?
For half a minute I didn’t say anything, just kept staring at the shaggy, black rug beneath my
