Melissa's just trying to survive senior year and enjoy her steamy romance webcomics. But when a group of incompetent alien university students mistakes her cow costume for the real thing, she ends up on Mentor Novix's examination table. Novix knows he's supposed to tag and release per university research protocols. But his accidental human captive has him breaking every rule. Instead of sending her back home, he can't resist claiming her as his mate through a permanent fluid bond. Now this strict, possessive alien academic will do anything to keep his unexpected gift, even if it means crashing a frat party on Halloween night.
