WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE Astrophysicist Bram Starbuck was determined to prove his fellow scientists wrong. They dismissed his theories on space travel, but they wouldn't after he returned from Earth. Only something went wrong, and he ended up in the wrong place, wrong century—but with the RIGHT woman. When Maine Police Chief Charity Prescott found the nearly naked, unconscious man during a blizzard, she nursed him back to health. Then she realized the sexy stranger was the man she'd been fantasizing about. It was as if her thoughts had reached out and pulled him out of the sky. It was as if their love had been destined by the stars. But very human forces threatened to tear them apart... and destroy Starbuck.

HIGHLY ILLOGICAL Scientist Dylan Prescott had never pictured himself as a swashbuckler—until he ended up in another solar system! There he close encountered the ever-controlled, logical Julianna Valderian who had been convicted of treason. To save her Dylan needed to get them back to Earth. The hard part was knowing which temptation was stronger—the impulse to strangle the exasperating Julianna or the urge to drag her off to bed. Maybe it was time to test out human physical love, Julianna told herself. After all, she studied aliens. Experimenting with Dylan was risky: logic said that together their physical elements were pure chemistry, while caution argued their emotional components were highly explosive. Or was she just scared of this human emotion called love?
