Can a runaway bride and an escaped alien prisoner find sanctuary together?

Darla’s life changed forever the day the aliens invaded Earth. Her worthless father and shiftless brother have used the presence of the Yehrin as an excuse to keep her under their control. Their latest scheme? Marry her off to one of their equally disgusting cronies as part of a business arrangement.

Desperate to get away, Darla turns to the Yehrin for help. When she’s offered a breeding contract on a planet far from Earth, she seizes the opportunity. But her escape goes terribly wrong when the spaceship taking her to her potential mate explodes - and she is stranded with a dangerous alien warrior.

T’pak thought that his post on Earth would be a new beginning. Instead, his past follows him. Sent home in disgrace - and chains - he has little to look forward to except visits from the shy little human who stumbles across his holding place.

When they are stranded on an unknown planet, his duty is clear: protect Darla from all danger, including his growing desire for her.

But T’pak’s past and Darla’s future are on a collision course - and once again he will have to choose between his duty and his desire.
