Rani Kerf isn’t ready to make a love connection. Instead, she’s got her mind set on her career. When spying a tall, dark and handsome stranger who takes her breath away while on a mission, her priorities begin to change. But when her team members on the secret operation disappear, Rani goes into rescue mode and discovers the gorgeous alien isn’t who he seems.

Tarrek just met the love of his life. Rani is beautiful, smart, funny, and her acting skills suck. But the problem is he’s on a mission and knows that his roguish lifestyle isn’t what someone like her deserves in a mate. He has no choice but to let her be the one that got away.

Fate has a different plan for Tarrek, which includes Rani—that is if she can forgive him for his betrayal increasing the odds of death for each member of her team. So who is this man who’s captured her heart, and what does he know about her crew?
