Being abducted by aliens to be mated to their king is not how Aria imagined her dream vacation would begin. Aria's career fills the void that foster care left behind, but recently, steamy, erotic dreams make her think she's working too hard. A free trip to a luxury resort is just the ticket. Until she's ushered to a "VIP party" and abducted by an alien who insists she's his king's soul-mate. Love at first sight, let alone sight unseen, is a myth. Her increasing attraction to the ship's captain, however, is far too real. Captain Tai Gaman's mission was simple. Kidnap Aria and deliver her to his king. What's complicated is the blinding desire he feels for the Earth woman that is almost impossible to resist. As the sexual hunger between them reaches unbearable height, Tai must make the most difficult decision of his life. Claim her as his own, or fulfill his duty to the king.
