Working a dead-end job in a chocolate shop, Meredith Sinclair has all but buried her dreams of finding happiness.

But when a bland-looking man comes into the shop and starts asking her suspicious questions, the most ridiculous thing happens—he turns into a horned, seven-foot tall alien before her very eyes.

When a human sees his true form, he has no choice but to take her back to his ship. But at the touch of her soft skin, his blood ignites like it has with no other female.

When the Herkleian government orders Meredith transferred to a lab for study, Kyrix will do anything to save her. Is it possible a human could be the fated mate to an alien royal?

And even if she is, will Meredith and Kyrix be able to escape his crew for a future together?
