She isn't going to take this whole kidnapped by alien thing lying down. When she realizes she can't escape without finding a partner first she dives right in, pretending to be someone she's not to score a weak partner she can escape from easily.

Sean doesn't have the best track record with chosen. Julia died under his care and Ivy is missing. And now that he has the chance to guard another one- he absolutely hates it. But when he finds that she isn't all that she seems and finds himself drawn to her, he must decide if this time he will also fail in his duty.
