Alien abduction is a concept that stimulates the imagination. Like being abducted by highland warriors, the idea of being abducted by a handsome alien has its romantic merit. (We are, of course, talking about the handsome alien, not the lizard-skinned, gargoyle looking specimen.) 
For example, in the 1967 movie, Mars Needs
Women, starring Tommy Kirk (one of my youthful heart throbs), aliens search human females fertile enough to repopulate their dying world. A campy and fun movie at the time.
I've long been a science fiction fan. If a new sci-fi movie comes out, you can almost be assured I'd be there! Not too surprising that I'd delve into science fiction romance at some time. My first stories were time travel, then some paranormal and now I seem to be caught in the sci-fi mode, ergo, The Chalice, Breeder Slave, Abaddon Rising and Will o' the Wisp.
I've taken the concept of alien abduction as my the basis for my Star Brides (Deg'Nara) series, The Chalice is the beginning of the abduction of 1,000 human females as brides for a dying race, Breeder Slave is the story of Leah and Moira who are captured by the bad guys and left to die on a barren planet and, my latest, Abaddon Rising. Joss is captured, enslaved and forced to fight in the alien gladiator games.
If you enjoy science fiction romance as much as I do, I hope you will enjoy these.
