"Miss (L/n), you and Anderson have been assigned with an android from Cyberlife for these cases." "Really? Well...alright. When will he or she arrive?"

For 29 yr old Mia Jones finding out that aliens existed and were actually on earth was a bit of a shock. Finding out her super hot boss was one and wanted to date her... well....beam her on up! When the Selkrians 'came out the closet' and announced they had been living among us for hundreds of years, it took me some time to wrap my head around it. But when war didn't break out I breathed a sigh of relief and got on with my job. When Kale Kapena, CEO of Totality, Mr. Why are you so sexy, aka my boss announced he was one, I kept on with my job then too. Hey they haven't taken over the planet after all this time so I would give them the benefit of doubt. But when he started to flirt and invite me out for dinner I needed to take a moment. It was hard enough getting a earth guy to commit let alone a alien! With my luck it would turn out like a bald guy winning a comb. But i couldn't resist, at least it would be a hell of a ride *wink*.

Maya has picked the absolute worse time to drive through southern Louisiana. Wet, broke-down, and desperately in need of shelter, she wanders into an abandoned plantation with the sole intention of getting through the night in one piece. Daniel, a wraith with a ghost complex, has spent the last two hundred years entertaining himself by scaring the holy hell out of the living. That all changes the moment he discovers his latest intruder can not only hear him, she can see him too! Can Daniel convince his mysterious guest to help find his remains and break the witch's curse he's lived under for the last two hundred years? Hell yeah! And he'll use any means necessary to do it....even if that means getting ghost-weary Maya to fall helplessly in love with him. Death really is only the beginning when these two forces collide. Nothing will ever be the same for either Maya or Daniel as they find themselves the target of Des's latest love connection!

"You trust me?" he asked, eyes turning soft once they made contact. "Maj, I-I-" "I said do you trust me, Lucky?" he repeated, voice hard. "...yes," she breathed out, and his next words came without hesitation, sending a chill down her spine. "Then shoot."
