Can a desperate woman and a lonely alien shifter work together to defeat an unknown enemy?

A new year should be a time for new hope, but this year, Meg finds it hard to be optimistic. Betrayal and bad luck threaten everything she has worked for. And although she would never admit it, she’s lonely on her isolated farm.

Desperate to find help, she visits an old friend and reluctantly agrees to a blind date. But her big, quiet alien date sparks an almost forgotten desire, and she gives in for one reckless night.

Roardon Is used to being alone. Other species regard his race with fear and suspicion. His brief encounter with a strong, beautiful female leaves him wanting more, but she disappears without a trace.

When she appears again at the auction for contract workers, he hopes his luck has finally changed. A lack of other options forces her to hire him, and he’s delighted at the chance to spend more time with her, despite the suspicion he can see on her face.

But Meg is in more trouble than she knows and the only way to save her may be to reveal his darkest secret - and lose her forever.
