The only thing Kelly wanted was for the huge Qeteran, Kharis, to leave her alone. Instead, she found herself in the company of the infuriating man at his home. The threat against her and her friends was still real after Zol'tsa escaped the custody of the Qeterans. As a cop back on Earth, she knew how to take of herself, but Kharis insists that she needs his protection whether she likes it or not. Cooped up in his home until the threat passes, Kelly finds herself with an unexpected gift, a very large gift the gods of Qetera decided she needed. Not only does she have to explain the gift, but she has to fend off the man who is determined to her his mate.

Kharis is beyond frustrated with the small human female. Found on board the same transport as his brother's mate, Maggie, Kharis knows that Kelly is his one true mate. He only has to convince her of it. Sent on a mission by Etor, Kharis relents and takes Kelly with him, only to lose her again to Qetera's arch enemy. Will he ever find her again? Or will he have to live the rest of his life without the mate the gods created especially for him?
