Serenity June, a high school science teacher, has avoided men most diligently. Abandonment by the men who claimed to care for her was simply a foregone conclusion. However, Seri certainly does not ignore her family members. When her Aunt Tildy’s necklace is stolen, Seri quickly rushes to her aid. But Aunt Tildy, who has always claimed her necklace was a gift from an alien prince and the love of her life, has a surprise for Seri; the grandson of her alien prince has arrived to help them find the necklace!

At first disbelieving, Seri soon comes to realize that Carch is an alien! And that their search for a missing necklace is actually the search for an important alien artifact with mysterious powers. But Carch is not the only alien searching for the necklace. There is a shape-shifting traitor on the loose, determined to retrieve the necklace at all costs. Will Seri and Carch find the necklace before the traitor, and save Carch’s royal family from execution? Will the explosive attraction between Carch and Seri turn to love? And will Seri ever be able to overcome her deep rooted fears of abandonment and trust in an unknown future?

Sexy and suspenseful, the attraction between Seri and Carch was mind-numbingly hot. Truly wonderful and enticing! While the background of this story was definitely science-fiction, the plot was more suspenseful. One never knew whom the traitor was impersonating, nor whom the thief actually was. The surprising ending is one to be enjoyed!
