A woman trapped by duty... Melody is a woman bound by obligation. She loves her family, but can't help dreaming of more. Exploring faraway lands, thrilling adventures, maybe even kissing strangers? Anything sounds better than caring for her sickly aunt and quiet, boring, small-town life. A man on the run... With quick wit, an easy smile, and that devilish twinkle in his eye, Konrad has always been able to charm his way out of every bad situation, and into every lady's affections. His life is footloose, fancy free, and criminally funded - everything he wants it to be. He's never slowed down long enough to consider any other possibilities. An Intergalactic Dating Agency... When a bizarre-looking alien from Celestial Mates knocks on Melody's door, telling her that he's found her perfect match, she thinks she may have stayed out in the sun too long. But after the cherub whisks her into a world of aliens, a tyrannical queen, and fearless rebels - not to mention the oh-so-charming thief who threatens to steal her heart - she's just not sure she's cut out for the life of grand adventures she's dreamed about. If any woman had ever mentioned marriage or kids to him, Konrad would have been gone before she finished her sentence. But the longer he's in Melody's company - with her sharp wit and steel determination - the more his dreams are featuring picket fences and puppies. But Konrad can't hide from his past forever and they're both in grave danger as the evil Queen closes in. Will Melody give up her desires to go home, to live with him on the run? Will Konrad risk everything to settle down with the one woman who's made him want to?
