Abby Tanner is content to live on her mountain while she creates beautiful works of art and enjoys the peace and quiet. All that changes when a strange golden spaceship crash-lands on it. Now Abby has to deal with a golden ship, a tortured alien, and an insane local sheriff.
Zoran Reykill knew he had to find a safe place to heal after he’d escaped from a Curizan military post. When his symbiosis mother ship takes him to an unknown planet, he finds more than he expects—he finds his true mate. But Abby doesn’t understand a thing Zoran says, and the local sheriff wants her too. There’s only one thing the king of Valdier can do: abduct his true mate.
Now Zoran has his hands full as he attempts to help Abby accept her new life, all the while keeping his true mate safe in his own world. He will need all the help he can get to convince this stubborn human that she doesn’t need her mountain back on Earth—he just needs to keep her alive and away from the other males on his planet. No matter what, Zoran knows abducting the sensual beauty is something he’ll never regret.
