After Bayden rescues Ellie from Earth and takes her to Ryon, she awakens desires inside him he thought he’d suppressed long ago. When casual touches lead to heated kisses and bold caresses, he wants nothing more than to make love to Ellie. However, past experiences have taught him that happily ever after is not for someone like him.

While Ellie is overwhelmed after being taken to another planet, she can’t ignore the way her body tingles and her heart flutters when she’s around Bayden. She is more than receptive to the huge warrior’s touch but is dismayed when he repeatedly resists having sex with her.

After a misunderstanding, Bayden’s trust in Ellie is tested. While she admits she made a mistake, she cannot understand his harsh reaction until she discovers his abusive past. Will her oversight mixed with Bayden’s volatile past be the perfect recipe to cause the demise of their newly blossoming love? Can she find a way to show him that he is good enough for her and that they have a love that can survive anything before he turns his back on her?
