Shara Weston used to be a movie star. But after the death of her husband, she overdosed on more than just the limelight--and now she's a recluse.
Cade Archer fell out of the sky, and Shara believes his story -- he's here to save both their worlds.
For Cade, failure isn't an option. If he doesn't open a portal to Earth, his people will never have the resources they need to be free. But a powerful enemy has tracked him from his world: An enemy whose only purpose is to destroy him.
Shara finds Cade's mission is as compelling as his dominating sensuality--but as she falls under his spell, she realizes that if he succeeds in his mission, he may very well destroy his world and Earth.
