Kwin I've traveled the universe for years, searching for my perfect mate, my sdaha. After crash-landing in her backyard, I finally found her. She's supposed to be mine, but instead she's married to an abusive man who doesn't love her. And worse, she's loyal to him. She deserves the world, and I will spend the rest of my days proving that to her. Meg I'm terrified about what my husband will do to the gorgeous purple alien who appeared in my backyard—or to me—when he finds out. But Kwin is hurt, and he tells me there's one certain way I can save him—he says giving in to this mating bond or whatever he keeps talking about will heal him faster. If I do, my husband will kill me. And if I don't, I don't know how I can survive knowing I let slip my one chance at freedom. All I've ever wanted is to be saved—but do I even deserve it?
