Synopsis (Goodreads):
My name is Madison Altman. Don’t think because I’ve disguised myself as a man and have accepted a job that takes me away from Earth that I’m running away from love. That’s not true. I met the love of my life--but he was killed on our wedding day.

Chaperoning crazy women traveling to Dakon to become the mail order brides of aliens is just a way to pay the bills.

Unfortunately, on this latest assignment, the ship returned to Earth without me! Luckily, Enoki came to my rescue. He might be hot, and sexy as hell with his gravelly voice and throbbing horns, but he believes I’m a man, and we’re friends, not lovers. That’s how I want it. That’s how it has to be. As soon Enoki can get me a flight to Earth, I’m leaving this frozen planet for good.

I’m Enoki, leader of Dakon. For the longest time, whispers in the wind told me my Fated mate was coming. Whispers turned to shouts when the recent shipment of females arrived, but none of them were mine. I must accept the Fates were wrong. I’ll never get a mate.

My purpose now is to help the stranded Earth man return to his home planet. Even though Madison is a Terran, we’ve developed a strong bond. I know I’ll miss him, but because we’re friends, I intend to do everything I can to help him leave.

Why do the whispers tell me not to let him go?
Thoughts on Alien Mischief: We met Madison in passing in earlier books and it turns out he isn't a he, but a woman pretending to be a man. You know, to prove a point to her brother. Which, honestly, works out well for her in the end, but what a burden to take on. By that, I mean, she can't be herself at any time while she's chaperoning the women to their new planet. That just does not sound fun to me.

To be fair, it's wearing on Madison, too. Despite the great pay, she's ready to start looking for something new. Being left behind on Dakon is pretty much a blessing in disguise. Not only does she get to spend time with the one male she is drawn to, but she also finds her place with the Dakonians and the women who've joined them on their planet.

As for Enoki, he's VERY confused by the feeling his mate is close. He likes Madison and feels a sense of rightness when he's close, but he has no romantic feelings for Madison when he believes him to be a man. It isn't until her she-ness is revealed that things click into place for him. And once they click, they CLICK.

Things were a little rough for the Dakonians before the human women descended on their planet, but they've turned around in a big way. Enoki and the other Dakonians are sweet and sexy and completely devoted to their mates and I kinda love that.
