Double date to celebrate a new year on Neron sounds like an adventure, especially when my blind date belongs to a little-known alien race. As the lead flight attendant of a spaceship, I spend my life traveling. And the new year's celebration finds me on Neron, an entirely new-to-me planet. My blind date, an alien from the planet Aldrai, is huge, strong, and slightly intimidating. But he also turns out to be charming and easygoing, with an intriguing secret tail he keeps hidden from view. I sense Greyx is what heartache is made of. And I avoid taking risks in my life.

My husband has horns, hooves, fur, and a tail. His Krampus-like appearance didn't scare me away from marrying him. Forever an optimist, I eagerly agreed to be the first bride shipped under the new liaison program to Voran, a country on the newly discovered planet Neron. The Colonel also has two little boys—a huge plus for me since I adore children. My down-to-earth sister says I live with my head in the clouds. And maybe I naively hoped for an out-of-this-world romance. What I didn't expect was an out-of-this-world brute.

Captain Xavran Rax from the planet Aldrai doesn't need a lover, a friend, or even a companion. He's been keeping a secret about his wife's death for over a decade, and the only reason he decides to bring a woman into his household is because he believes it would benefit his four children. Mara Takolsky doesn't find Aldraians even remotely attractive. Neither does she care about children of any species. She accepts the proposal of Captain Rax only because her dead fiance owed a lot of money to the criminals who now wish to collect it from her, either in money or blood.

When he and I end up separated from the rest, we get captured and brought to a secret lab supposedly operated by our allies. A rogue scientist performs an illegal experiment on Agan, which finally allows the cocky lieutenant to get a taste of his own medicine.

Aliens came to Earth to abduct our women, but it backfired. Now they're returning them, and I'm in charge of shuttling women back from orbit. Ever since I first laid my eyes on the alien ship's commander, I've had a crush on him. Who can blame me? He's tall and gorgeous, with skin the color of midnight. He has a voice that can purr or roar and seven long tails that he really knows how to use. I know I can't have him. I've never even spoken to him. But when an incident renders the commander unconscious, I have no choice but to take him to my remote hunting cabin.

I find myself on a haunted spaceship with no crew, hurtling through space with a destination unknown.
