***Formerly titled "The Privilege"***
In a distant galaxy, an advanced and powerful alien race known as the Azuli face a dire crisis: a biological war has left all their women dead or infertile, threatening their species with extinction. In a desperate bid for survival, they turn to the genetically similar humans of Earth.
After making a covert treaty with the United Nations, the Azuli offer their advanced technology in exchange for Earth's women. Unbeknownst to the world, a secret selection process begins and numerous women are abducted and transported to the alien planet. Among them is investigative journalist, Elizabeth Crane. Just as she's about to uncover the truth of the disappearances, she is taken by Zy'ra Xantheris, an Azuli spy sent to stalk her and abduct her.
Zy'ra is assigned as her escort to help her navigate the aliens' society and ensure her she is matched with one of their best warriors to bear children. However, the more time they spend together, the more attached she becomes to her human and her feelings threaten to break the surface.
Commander Rhys Vorian, a fierce and loyal warrior, is one of the Azuli males who volunteers to be matched to one of the human females. He ends up being paired with Elizabeth and vows to protect her with his life. He quickly begins to fall for her, but senses her hesitation. When he uncovers a secret plot that may put her in danger, he wonders if she would be safer back on Earth.
Together the three must navigate their alien love triangle, uncover hidden agendas, and make unexpected choices amidst political intrigue and cultural clashes. Elizabeth must decide which path she will take: trust Rhys and embrace a future she never imagined or escape and return to Earth and expose the truth for all to see. In a race against time, will love blossom in the stars or will the shadow of a war and mistrust doom them all?
