When three aliens crash into Duskrock, Arizona, empath and wildlife rehabilitator Poppy Jensen senses what no one else can—Lunar, a shadow-born operative from Zorveya’s night side, made to move unseen. He expects fear. She offers a hand. One touch sparks more than either imagined, and suddenly secrecy is impossible.

Lunar never wanted to join Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides on this ill-conceived mission, but his leaders gave him no choice. Now stranded on a strange planet and hunted by a ruthless black-ops outfit, survival depends on a woman who should never have been able to see him at all.

On the run through desert nights and hidden caves, forced proximity fans their connection into something undeniable. Lunar speaks in actions, and Poppy understands every one. With hunters closing in and extraction running out of time, he must decide if protecting his mission is worth losing the one woman who makes the darkness feel like home.
