An otherworldly warrior desperate to escape Earth. A curvy human female who's his only hope-and his deepest desire.

After losing her job, apartment, and boyfriend in one afternoon, Zoey doesn't think things can get any worse. Then an uninvited passenger-green, four-armed, and sexy as sin-proves her wrong by dragging her into his frantic escape. Helping Rendash is the right thing to do, but it means becoming a fugitive and risking the only things she has left-her life, and her heart.

Weakened by years of captivity and torture, Rendash, an elite aligarii warrior, seizes his only opportunity for freedom. Alone in an alien wasteland, he seeks the aid of a human, one of the very species that imprisoned him. But he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Zoey, and his need to protect her soon wars with his mission to return to his homeworld.

With a shadowy government agency pursuing them, Zoey and Rendash must race across the country before he is recaptured, and she is thrown in a dark cell as a traitor to her kind. But their greatest obstacle may be the most unlikely-their insatiable attraction to one another.
