She lost everything that mattered to her when her alien captors left her naked on the side of a lonely rural road. Angel Whitedove is an alien abductee and researcher who has been kidnapped since she was a small child and subjected to horrific medical experiments at the hands of her alien captors. All she wants to do is make the nightmare stop. When a tall dark stranger shows up, she pegs him as a federal agent, but he is something far more dangerous to her. Darek of Laren has one objective, to find the criminal Laen and return him to Laren for trial. He is convinced that his planet's non-interference laws are just and fair, and the only way to keep his planet pure. But then he meets Laen's half-blood daughter Angel and discovers an ancient enemy is hunting on Earth. To make things worse, Angel is at the center of the controversy. Will Darek convince Angel that he is willing to not only love her but to do whatever it takes to protect her, or will their mutual enemies get to Angel first?
