Ten years ago, Nerian Bader escaped his home planet in search of a life in the stars. He lost the love of his life in the process. Now, a distress call has brought him back into that quadrant of space, but the last name he expects to hear in it is his dead lover's. Suddenly, he has a second chance to save Tam, and he'll do whatever it takes to do so.





Though Fellowman Tam Deiga doesn't agree with his government's separatist policies, he is trapped on Tathis unless he gets outside help. Though he's shocked Nerian is the one answering his call, his first priority is to warn Nerian's bosses about the encroaching Tathisian threat. He still loves Nerian, though. With danger looming from both regimes, can they find a way to forgive their past and share their future?



A four time EPPIE/EPIC eBook Award winner, Vivien Dean is an avowed geek—books, theater, film, you name it—who found her geek soulmate in a British expat with a propensity to dream. She spent two years rediscovering the world with him before he whisked her away to the UK to start a family. That was just the beginning of what has turned out to be her grandest adventure yet.

Vivien is a firm believer that love doesn't care about gender, so her titles include both het and GLBT, erotic and sweet, as well as a wide variety of genres. In 2006, she teamed up with fellow erotic romance writer, Pepper Espinoza, to write together as Jamie Craig for five years. Currently, she resides in Northern California with her husband and two children.
