She must protect her Aunt Hinekiri from mercenaries and then return to Dalcon in time to take her captain's exam. A simple assignment for an officer of her caliber-except nothing goes as planned. Their spaceship crash lands on Earth. No spare parts available. Big problem. Janaya is stuck on a tiny outpost called New Zealand. She's going to stuff up her promotion chances.

No nosy reporters. No women. Just lots of fishing and fresh country air. Luke doesn't count on meeting a pair of aliens and a talking dog and participating in a shootout with purple-suited aliens. Nor does he expect the surge of lust he feels for Janaya. Suddenly a routine callout turns into a big problem that Luke suspects might only be the tip of the iceberg.

Danger and impulsive are his new middle names. He's having loads of fun, but soon Hinekiri's departure date arrives. Richard realizes he wants more than a romantic interlude in Africa. Now all he needs to do is persuade the determined Hinekiri to his way of thinking...
