Before humanity met the Budo, before humans were sold for breeding compatibility experimentation to the Agraak, there was a crash landing on an unknown world—Earth.            If a male wasn't born into the upper tiers of Forad society, he would never know the comfort of his own mate. Ehmhy was not such a fortunate male, he was a trader of a long line of traders. Resigned to his lot in life, he never expects to be stranded on an isolated primitive planet with his nephew whom he'd recently become guardian of. Separated in the crash, Ehmhy is desperate to find his nephew and get back home. What he doesn't expect is to meet a local female who does what no offworld female ever has done before—make him yearn to make her his mate.            Gerry works in the French Quarter and while her life isn't glamorous, she enjoys her simple lifestyle. Things become complicated quick when she helps a stranger during Mardi Gras wearing a complicated cat-man costume who'd become separated from his nephew. When he is revealed to be a stranded alien in need of help, she couldn't, in good conscience, retract her offer. Without the government on their trail and a Forad boy in need of rescuing they become closer as passions stir and something more blooms. But they have no future—or maybe they do.

When she aged out of the foster care system without family ties, it left her with no one except her best friend Jinx.  Though she mourns the one thing that's been missing most of her life, she isn't going to trust her heart to just anyone…certainly not a fickle male who isn't interested in settling down. When a sexy stranger she brings home turns out to be an enormous man-wolf she didn't think she could be any more surprised—until she discovers that, during their wild night of passion, he accidentally mated her to him. Now she must enter a world she never imagined in order to find the one person who might be able to sever the unintended bond between them. She doesn't expect to fall in love with the people, nor to find herself in the midst of a mystery when females begin to go missing once again from the tribe. It could be the adventure of a lifetime, or the fates may have something more in mind for this stubborn witch.
