Summary from Goodreads:
Military legacy Ari Alexander has survived alien spies, WWIV, and a changing world order. But when the new leader of Earth uses Jackson—the only boy she's ever let herself care about—to get to her, Ari has no choice but to surrender.
To free Jackson, she agrees to travel to the national bases to train others to fight. What she discovers is a land riddled with dying people. Ari has the power to heal by turning the fighters into aliens—half-breeds like her. If she succeeds, together, they have a chance at overthrowing the alien leader, Zeus. But if she fails, everyone she holds dear will be wiped away forever.
Once again, everything Ari’s come to believe is thrown into question. In a world of uncertainty, loyalties are tested, lies are uncovered, and no one can be trusted. If Ari and Jackson have any hope at survival and at preserving a life for the future, they must fight the final war with their eyes wide open.

Excerpt:
“I thought I’d never see you
again,” I whisper. “I thought you were...” I can’t bring myself to finish the
thought.
He shakes his head, his eyes
still on mine. “I would find you.”
“But what if—”
“You’re all I have now, all I
need. I would find you.” And then his hands are in my hair, securing me to him,
his lips on mine. A combination of a sigh and a sob bursts from my mouth and
then he’s lifting me up, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carries me to
my bed, never letting his lips leave mine. He kisses me like it’s the last kiss
we’ll have, like he needs me to breathe. And I can’t get enough.
We lose ourselves in each other;
exploring all the places we’d never paid attention to before. I slip off his
shirt and kiss a trail down his back, up his side, loving how even now, broken
by the pain of losing Mami, he is still beautiful. Even more beautiful.
He lifts me up so he can tug off
my shirt and then we’re lying in bed naked, a sheet over us as we allow our
bodies to meld together, everything else gone but this moment. But us.
