But after the death of her husband, she overdosed on more than just the limelight—and now she's a recluse. Cade Archer fell out of the sky, and Shara believes his story—he's here to save both their worlds. For Cade, failure isn't an option. If he doesn't open a portal to Earth, his people will never have the resources they need to be free. But a powerful enemy has tracked him from his world: An enemy whose only purpose is to destroy him. Shara finds Cade's mission is as compelling as his dominating sensuality—but as she falls under his spell, she realizes that if he succeeds in his mission, he may very well destroy his world and Earth.

If she saves his life, he’ll be her enemy forever. When intersolar mining boss Derrek Archer rescues a beautiful stranger named Azsla from her emergency sleeping pod, the desire between them flares to dangerous heights. Azsla, a member of the ruling elite, has powers that can save Derrek’s planet from an approaching asteroid, but if she reveals those powers, he’ll learn that she’s not only a spy, but also a slave mistress capable of controlling him and destroying everything he holds dear. Mastering the hot-blooded miner seems impossible as sexual conquest becomes a battle neither of them can win. If they and the planet are to survive, they’ll have to rely on one another, trust one another, because love may not be enough.
