Being kidnapped by aliens and whisked away to another planet isn't always a bad thing . . . Meg isn't like the other alien abduction survivors. She doesn't miss much of anything from her former life--least of all her deadbeat husband. Her Clecanian rescuers gave her a fresh start, and she plans to enjoy it. Being recognized as a mate is not on her agenda. Too bad a grumpy, possessive, and all-kinds-of-sexy alien has other plans for her . . . Maxu never expected to find his fated mate. But he recognized Meg at first sight. Sadly, she's not as pleased with the match as he is. She's guarded in a way he doesn't entirely understand and pushes him away at every turn. Meg can run, but she soon realizes there's nowhere to hide--not from a hunter like Maxu. But that doesn't mean she'll give in easily. If he wants a happily ever after with her, he'll have to fight for it. Good thing he's not above playing dirty. Contains mature themes.
