There’s no man I can trust … I may not be locked up on a slave ship anymore, but I still bear the scars. I miss my life on Earth, but I don’t know how I can go back after what was done to me. The Rutharians took everything, and now all I’m able to see are threats. One of my rescuers, Nion, wants to protect me, but I can’t let him get close. I won’t let myself be taken again. When the Lunarians promise to take me home and wipe my memory of everything that’s happened, I couldn’t be happier … but the longer I stay with them, the more I discover the wonders of the universe, and the more I begin to fall for Nion. I never knew an alien warrior could be so gentle with me, and despite my trauma I want him to claim me. While Nion is gentle with me, he’s still a dedicated warrior and he’s determined to avenge his murdered brother. No matter how close we seem, can I really be his priority when he’s spent years seeking his revenge? And do I have the strength to be a warrior’s mate? I just want to go home, but I need to decide if that home is on Earth … or with Nion.
