But at twenty-eight, she is ready to start focusing on what she wants. After her fiancée unexpectedly ends their engagement, she is ready to redefine herself. Though she's a pilot for Boswell International, she knows flying is not her first love, and she finally decides to live near her father in Wyoming and care for the stray and neglected animals that have always captured her heart. Then she finds herself on a warship headed for a distant planet! The new plan is to escape and make her way back home.

Mandra Reykill never expects to find his true mate so suddenly-or so painfully. He knows his older brother is returning home with his true mate and her friends, but never suspects his true mate could be among the women. His dragon is head over heels in love with the delicate beauty, his symbiot is enchanted with her gentle touch and kindness, but all Mandra the man gets is a stubborn female refusing to acknowledge his claim on her. To top it off, his orderly life is turned upside down when his home-and his warship-are infested with critters from all over the galaxy! How can one female possibly collect so many stray animals?
