When human Pilot Holly Reed crash lands in the middle of an alien jungle, it derails her entire mission. Luckily, the planet of Cynabar is much more welcoming than it seems...

Holly intends to let nothing stop her from getting paid and setting out on another assignment for the Terran forces. That is, of course, until she finds herself caught up in the traditions of the unfamiliar Cynabarrian culture, and in the arms of a handsome alien prince.

Holly finds herself torn between an attraction to a man whose duties rival her own, and maintaining the life she built for herself. When figures from her past emerge, it becomes about more than just love: suddenly Holly's number one priority is surviving.
