New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in an exciting new sci-fi romance series full of action, adventure, and happily-ever-afters.
Ava has always been different. Born with strong telepathic abilities, she lives a very isolated life until she is offered a job with an obscure network that aids powerful Immortal Guardians in their quest to protect humanity from the psychotic vampires who prey upon them. Suddenly, she doesn't feel so different. For the first time in her life, Ava has found a place where she belongs. She's happy. Life is good. And when her employers invite her to join a group of other gifted ones and a handful of Immortal Guardians on a journey to another planet, it becomes absolutely fantastic.
In no time at all, she is speeding across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship manned by two amazing alien races. It's the dream of a lifetime... until a vicious attack by a mutual enemy of Earth and Lasara lands her alone in an escape pod with no habitable planet in sight and only one ship within range: one that carries the enemy who wants to know why the bioengineered virus they release on Earth long ago didn't exterminate humanity and leave the planet ripe for their claiming.
Jak'ri doesn't know how long he has been a prisoner aboard the Cebaun, but he fears the enemy's twisted experiments will soon lead them to a virus that will eradicate the Purveli people. Despair grips him until a female from Earth is taken captive and reaches out to him telepathically. The gift that Ava said caused her such misery in the past soon becomes his salvation as the two of them form a fast friendship. Determined to distract each other from the horrors of their existence, they immerse themselves in telepathic communion during the day, then seek solace and adventure together in shared dreams. As their friendship deepens into love, the two hatch a daring plot to escape their captors. But the enemy will not let them go without a fight.
Can Ava and Jak'ri stand against so many and emerge victorious?

SHELDON: Hi, guys. Nice to meet you. I’m Sheldon.
LISA: Nice to meet you.
TAELON: Good to meet you.
SHELDON: Everyone around here is very curious about you, Taelon. You really caught us by surprise.
TAELON: I’m equally curious about all of you.
SHELDON: Would you mind answering a few questions? Not many are in the know as far as what you are, but those who are tend to be… How should I put this…?
MARCUS: [calls from a room down the hallway] Enormous gossips?
SHELDON: [laughs] Yeah. But we keep it in the family so to speak.
TAELON: [smiles] I’d be happy to answer your questions.
SHELDON: Good. So… you’re an alien.
TAELON: Yes. I’m from the planet Lasara.
SHELDON: Okay. I think the one burning question that’s currently on everyone’s mind is… what’s up with aliens and butt probing?
TAELON: [blinks] What?
SHELDON: I said, what’s up with aliens and—
TAELON: I heard you the first time. I just have no idea what you’re talking about.
SHELDON: You know… Aliens are always abducting humans and probing their butts.
TAELON: [looks askance at Lisa]
LISA: Hey. Don’t look at me. He said aliens do it.
TAELON: I admit this is the first time I’ve heard of such.
SHELDON: Really? Lasarans don’t do that?
TAELON: We do not. And on behalf of the Lasaran people, I can tell you with absolute certainty that none of us are interested in discovering what’s up your butt.
MARCUS: [calls from the room down the hallway] Good move! With Sheldon, you never know what you’ll find.
LISA: [laughs]
SHELDON: [scowls] Oh, ha freaking ha.
LISA: [turns to Taelon] By the way, I forgot to mention that Susan and Dana said you should not under any circumstances read Sheldon’s mind.
TAELON: [regards Sheldon with suspicion] Why?
SHELDON: It’s nothing. I’m not plotting against you or anything. They just like to tease me about some of the sex stuff they see up there.
TAELON: [eyes widen suddenly] Oh. [looks flabbergasted] Really? That sort of thing is legal on Earth? In public?
SHELDON: [face reddens as guffaws erupt down the hallway] She said not to read my mind. Not to read it.
TAELON: [swiftly nods] I will certainly refrain from doing so in the future.
LISA: [peers up at him curiously] Why? What did you see?
TAELON and SHELDON: Nothing!
LISA: [lips twitch]
