Hannah Pitt wanted out of her life but did not see how that was possible. When she got home from work, she had to hand over all her tips TO an abusive boyfriend. A handsome stranger comes into the restaurant every day and sits in her section. She dreams of running away with him but thinks that it is just her dream and never expects that it could become a reality.

Jebaral Gitall Morr was one of the last of the people from his world. They had landed on Earth five years ago hoping to make it their homeland. His brother Simolif is the only one he is in contact with. He could just hopes the others are doing as well. He longs to find a mate but knows he may be alone forever. When he meets Hannah, he is attracted to her and wonders if she could be his mate after all.

Running for his life Jebaral never stays one place very long. After meeting Hannah, he wishes he did not have to keep moving. One day he comes into the restaurant only to find out that Hannah’s boyfriend Carl called her in sick. Jebaral is furious, goes to check on her and finds her battered and bruised. He cannot promise her a safe life but he feels that he must look after her. They run away together, even though Hannah has no idea of his true self. Jebaral is always on the watch for the Arra who could be looking for him, intending to enslave him once more.

Jebaral and Hannah find good friends in each other although both would like to become more than that. Jebaral does not believe he can offer her much of a life while Hannah needs to be able to trust again. Ms. Mooney tells a wonderful story of love, passion, and trust. These characters leap off the pages. Getting to know them so well is almost as if they are your good friends. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series and I hope that Simolif will finally find his life partner.
