Kay vows to escape the planet Mudden and her "match." All she has to do? Not fall in love with him. Kay is kidnapped, taken to the planet Mudden, and forced to marry a stranger. Griff is supposed to be perfect for her, but that doesn't mean she wants to be married to him. She refuses to give in to the Mudden men’s master plan and vows to be the first woman to escape the planet. All she has to do is not fall for Griff for a year. Sounds easy, right? Well…Kay soon discovers she has a hard time keeping her hands off of Griff, but just because she shares her body doesn’t mean she has to share her heart. No, she doesn't want to give in. But all is not well within the Glaerus clan, and as political unrest escalates, more than her freedom is at stake. She has to decide if proving them wrong is more important than doing what’s right. For herself. For Griff. And for the planet.

Stuck on the planet Mudden, Dr. Elizabeth Wells just wants to do her job and go home. But the Mudden men have a secret, and they have other plans for her. Elizabeth only wants one thing in life: to be a successful doctor. She has no time for men or family, and no desire to explore the system. Until Rex, a stranger with an ice-cold glare shows up demanding she travels to his planet to save a woman’s life. He’s big. And intimidating. And she knows better than to go with him…until he forces her hand. Nothing on the planet Mudden is what it seems. They invited her here, so why is she in danger? And why does Rex lead her on one minute, only to reject her the next? She just wants to do her job and go home. But the Mudden men have a secret. And they have other plans for her.

The Mudden men have a secret, and she can’t leave to tell it. Nova is undercover. Figuratively. Literally, she sleeps on the couch as far away from Altair as she can get. Sure he’s handsome, but that’s no excuse for being so full of himself. He’s also a stickler for rules, and he’d be the first one screaming for her death if he ever found out the truth about her hidden identity. Not that she can avoid him either, he’s the guy she’s supposed to be spying on. Oh yeah, and she’s married to him. She’s soon regretting her decision to come to Mudden, but she can’t escape until she finds valuable information. Her efforts might be in vain anyway, because whether she’s in his bed or locked up in jail, Altair has no intention of letting her go. The Mudden men have a secret, and they’re not letting her leave to tell it.

She wants the truth. It will cost her freedom. Thalia’s desperate search for her missing sister Kay has completely taken over her life. She’s on the verge of losing her job, but she doesn’t care. All Thalia can think about is Kay, locked up and crying out for her cop sister to find her. She finds a Mudden man named Price who knows something. He may even have been involved somehow. Price offers Thalia a deal. He will take her to Mudden to see her sister if in exchange she helps him steal highly secret information from the most powerful corporation in the system. Not only is the mission nearly impossible, but Price has made it clear that the trip to Mudden will be one way. He won’t help her rescue Kay or return home. She’ll have to figure it out on her own. It’s a bad idea but what choice does she have when her sister’s life is at stake? To make things worse, Price incessantly flirts and teases her. She just can’t figure him out. She should hate him but instead ends up kissing him. What would Kay think if she knew Thalia was making out with the enemy?
