Dive into the next thrilling novel in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's fast-paced, humorous, and adventure-filled Aldebarian Alliance series. Too many years of hunting psychotic vampires night after night have left Rachel with a desperate need for change. So when the opportunity to travel across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship to a utopian planet arises, the powerful Immortal Guardian jumps at the chance. Rachel eagerly looks forward to making a fresh start... until an enemy attacks and she ends up alone in an escape pod so far from alliance-occupied space that no one can hear her communications. No one except a renegade cyborg who shouldn't exist. After a grueling, hard-fought rebellion, Wonick and his cyborg brethren settled on a distant planet, where they've finally carved out a peaceful existence. The Aldebarian Alliance believes every Akseli cyborg died long ago. And battle-weary cyborg leader Wonick is determined to prevent anyone from discovering otherwise, knowing such would spark the fiercest manhunt in the galaxy. Yet when he hears Rachel's communications, temptation drives him to speak to her, sparking friendship and a longing for a very different future. Rachel finds Wonick even more appealing when she meets him in person, and the friendship they've formed soon deepens into love as the cyborgs-no more immune to her fun-loving, laughter-inducing nature than Wonick-cautiously welcome her into the fold. But the warriors' unbridled ability to collect intel uncovers a secret the enemy has guarded for decades, one that compels them to embark upon a mission fraught with danger. If they succeed, they may end the enemy's attempts to conquer the galaxy once and for all. If they fail, it could cost Wonick and Rachel everything. Note: This is a fast-paced science-fiction adventure packed with romance, edge-of-your-seat action, laughter-inducing humor, lovable secondary characters, and a HEA ending.

Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear, but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long.

When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman is far from elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk anything-even the wrath of his king-to be with her."Book after book, Duvall brings her readers complex, fascinating tales of romance, danger and loyalty."-RT Book Reviews
