When her twin disappears without a trace, Kaitlyn Faulks can't accept that she's gone. In her heart, she knows her sister is alive out there, somewhere. One alien abduction later, Kait finds herself on a posh spaceship, the "honored guest" of a sexy seven-foot-tall alien of questionable sanity. He insists she's the heir to his Star Empire and that the fate of Earth, and the empire, depends on her compliance. Yeah, sure.
Warrior Baatar must retrieve the Earth woman for the emperor. It is the only way to restore his family's honor and insure that they do not pay the ultimate price for his brother's treachery. But the future empress, Kaitlyn, is a difficult, wily female who challenges him at every opportunity. What's worse, she is giving him reasons to doubt the truth behind his mission.
As the stakes rise and the fate of an empire hangs in the balance, Kaitlyn and Baatar are thrust into a conflict decades in the making, where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. Including each other.
