When a headstrong human woman finds herself adrift in an alien tribe—okay, she may have thrown a few things and caused some chaos—the last person she expects to understand her loneliness is the blue-skinned warrior who "borrowed" her sister. But he's there, he gets it, and sparks fly in ways she absolutely didn't plan for. What starts as a rule-breaking fling becomes something neither of them saw coming, because he's terrible at casual and she's even worse at keeping things uncomplicated. Get ready for a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers adventure that'll have you swooning over a gruff alien who's completely out of his depth with this fierce, messy human woman.
