Official synopsis Publisher
“Smart, sexy, and absolutely memorable . . .” –J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing
“[A] fizzy, flirty, and fun space opera . . .” –Yume Kitasei, author of The Stardust Grail
Let’s get one thing straight: I am not your chosen one.
Forty-five-year-old Imogen has always struggled to fit in, never finding her passion in life. And while that may include having cold feet in her impending nuptials, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to ditch planet Earth–and her entire life–completely.
When Imogen is kidnapped by an alien prince in disguise, there’s nothing she can do to stop him. He’s sidhe–a being with powerful abilities–and he’s grown up used to getting what he wants. The prince is convinced Imogen will fall in love with him, and that her new powers, once she’s turned sidhe, will help his country win a centuries-old feud.
With the help of the prince’s much more tolerable brother, Imogen starts to get her feet back under her, but even he can’t protect her from those who would use her for her powers. If Imogen can’t find a way to fight for herself, she’ll become a pawn in a world that has already decided what she’s going to be.
