Rina Zeret is not prepared to settle down. At least, not with a genetically selected mate. She wants true love and a happily ever after. Unfortunately, her mother has other ideas and submits Rina's biological material-the woman's a hairbrush thief!-to the Population Ministry to see if they can find a genetic match for her. Suddenly Rina is presented with Tave fa V'yl, Crown Prince of Ujal, High Warrior of the Ruling Caste and Earth's greatest ally. Her mother is going to be so happy. Tave fa V'yl is the strongest and fiercest warrior on all of Ujal and yet he cannot deny one tiny female-his mother. When he agrees to consider taking a mate this turning, he doesn't realize she takes things quite a bit further and finds him a woman. On Earth. Now he is presented with a woman who doesn't want him while he cannot think of anything past his wanting of her.Rina fights their attraction but doesn't realize Tave fa V'yl has never lost a battle… and he will not begin with her.
