An alien crime lord wants her dead. Her only salvation is the space marine ex she left behind. Natalie Nobody said being a district attorney was easy, but I refuse to drop this case—even with the worst alien crime lord in the entire galaxy gunning for me. I can’t let anyone else get hurt. I have to do this alone. But he won’t let me. My alien ex-boyfriend was hired to protect me until the court date—much to my chagrin. It’s been eight years and there’s nothing left between us. At least, that’s what I thought… Nayok After Natalie left me, I was broken. I threw myself into the Space Marines to forget about her. Fighting and killing are all I’ve ever known. But now her life’s on the line, I can’t stand aside. I have to protect her. I whisk her away to an idyllic location far from danger. The trial is in one week and we have nothing but each other to pass the time. Can I keep things professional or will I end up broken-hearted all over again? Locked up tight in a safe house, can Natalie and Nayok navigate the rough terrain of their rocky relationship? Or will they repeat the mistakes of the past and fail to escape with their lives?
