80% Beef 20% Cake: Canada - Paperback

by Chris Redd (Author)

All it takes is one giant intergalactic leap of faith...

When ambitious Ginger is diagnosed with a rare blood disease, she seeks solace far from Earth. The last thing she expects is to end up trapped inside a volcano, running from a monstrous sandworm. And the last thing she wants is to rely on an infuriating, overprotective alien as her only hope of survival. She doesn't need his help-or his ridiculous insistence on keeping her safe.

JayJay never planned on rescuing a stubborn human female, but protecting her awakens something primal inside him. Exiled from his home planet for a crime he didn't commit, he knows better than to dream of companionship. Yet the more time he spends with Ginger, the more his instincts scream one impossible truth: she belongs to him.

When a life-saving treatment forces them into an unbreakable bond, Ginger and JayJay must face the impossible-could fate have destined them to be mates? Or will an old enemy destroy Ginger's prospects for a cure and shatter their fragile chance at love before it even begins?
