New Earth (Summer Cooper) Books in Order

New Earth is where Summer Cooper moves fully into sci-fi romance. Co-written with Selina Coffey, the series starts after an apocalypse and follows Ann as survival, mutation, and alien politics turn her life into something she could never have imagined.

The first book, His To Take, sets the tone fast. Ann is alive because her father built a bunker. Rex, the boy she loved for years, is alive too. That sounds simple at first, but the world outside has changed, and Rex has changed with it. He now has a wolf side that makes him unpredictable, dangerous, and not fully the person Ann remembers.

Then the dreams begin.

The alien overlord with orange eyes is not a passing image. He becomes part of the central pull of the series, which means New Earth is not just post-apocalyptic romance. It is also a story about species boundaries, forced proximity, and a heroine caught between very different futures.

By His To Mate, the alien side of the story is no longer abstract. Ann is pulled into an alien world with its own expectations, and the books start asking whether a human can ever really belong there. Rex does not disappear from that question either, so the tension keeps working on both the emotional and world-building levels.

In His To Save, the stakes get even more personal. Pregnancy, loyalty, and survival all crash together, and Ann has to think about more than her own heart. The series keeps coming back to belonging, not just who she loves, but which world, if any, will let her live in peace.

So if you want a gentle alien romance, this is probably not that. New Earth is more dramatic and more chaotic. It blends apocalypse survival, shifter energy, alien hierarchy, and a heroine who keeps getting pulled between danger and desire.

It is a strange mix on paper, but if you like romance that goes all in on its premise, that is exactly why the series works.
