Indiana Jones meets Romancing the Stone when an archaeologist and her mysterious protector search for a stolen sacred artifact to prevent planetary disaster.
Archaeologist Leena Worthington-Jax is hired to locate a stolen sacred horn that controls her planet's weather cycles. Accompanying her is Taurin Rey Niris, a mysterious stranger engaged as her protector. She believes him to be a simple farmer until he exhibits skills worthy of a warrior. Curious about his background and increasingly tempted by his tantalizing touch, Leena trusts him to keep her safe during their perilous journey.
Taurin hides his alien origins from Leena as he aids in the search for the missing relic. He's aware that if he shares his knowledge about her world's history, it'll destroy her faith and cause a rift between them. Yet revealing the truth might be the only way to save her planet from global ruin. Can he keep Leena from discovering his secrets while guarding her from their enemies and from his own heart?
