Synopsis (Goodreads):

" I should have warned you of how illogical it is to fall in love with a Kyron."

An emissary to the Restitution, V’Alen does not interfere in the war between the humans and High Tasqals.

But when the Tasqal’s minions attack the base and the voice of one female reaches his auditory sensors, he answers her call for assistance.

[Scan: Female. Designated “Alaina”.]

A human female who swears him to secrecy the moment he rescues her.

Alaina is completely illogical. She is the definition of a faulty being…but when she proposes a contract he cannot refuse, V’Alen takes the bait.

The deal? A glimpse of humanity in exchange for his silence.

[Scan. Odds 95/5]

There is a 95% chance nothing will occur that will change his existence.

…But for the universe, 5% is more than enough.

Thoughts on V'Alen: We're back with the Restitution and the more machine than man Kyron emissary, V'Alen. He has rigid rules to live by (for reasons!) and he absolutely doesn't expect any human to captivate him the way Alaina does.

The downside? Alaina is dealing with more than just being abducted. She's dying and wants her time to be worth something to the people she's unexpectedly found herself with. Which means she's hiding her illness and doing everything she can to help turn the tide against the Tasqals. Still, she's one woman against a terrible enemy, but the lady DOES NOT give up easily. Or ever, really.

Which intrigues V'Alen. She's faulty, weak, and dying by inches, but she just keeps on pushing forward. When the two of them head off on a mission to keep a powerful relic safe, they start to learn more and more about one another. And (yeah, you guessed it) THINGS HAPPEN.

THINGS. V'Alen has skills no regular man has and Alaina isn't complaining IN THE LEAST.

A whole lot of danger, a powerful being who cages himself with rules to protect those around him, a woman who wants to make a difference, and several steamy encounters. *thumbs up*
