An Alien Warrior's Fated Valor

Brooklyn keeps Libra Station running and never lets anyone see what that control costs her, a perfectionism she learned growing up and has no intention of unlearning.

Falkin, a blue-haired Dalgurian warrior and an empath, arrives to broker the most important trade deal in his people's future.

The Intergalactic Dating Agency matches him with the one woman who refuses to believe anyone stays, and he feels exactly how lonely she is behind her careful smile.

He is patient, honor-bound, and already falling, while she has spent a lifetime learning not to leap.

When Brooklyn discovers the bet he made before he ever arrived, she must decide whether she is the woman he chose or a prize he won.
