An alien assassin. A tempting human female he can't resist. Will she allow a killer to claim her? Avery Watson moved to Denver to escape her controlling mother. Sure, it not easy, and she has to budget every penny, but her new friends don't care if she doesn't wear makeup, don't glare at her if she laughs too loud or snorts. For the first time, she's content. But then she meets Hunter Coleman. This powerful, mysterious man isn't the sort that small, freckled, awkward women like Avery usually attract. His intense eyes follow her every move. She should be worried, but he makes her feel safe. He makes her feel...wanted. Yet Hunter is even more dangerous than he seems... And he's not a man at all. He's everything Avery should fear-he's everything she desires. And he'll stop at nothing to make her his lifemate. There's just one problem-he's not the only one targeting her, and his rivals don't have Avery's best interests in mind.
