Synopsis (Goodreads):

Single, slightly awkward, Earthian female seeking companionship and open-minded individual. Only compatible species may apply. Wealth is appreciated and may move you higher up the list, though not necessary. Looks are necessary, or at least serious muscle tone. Sincere applicants only.

Candace: What happens when the daughter of the creator of IDA, the infamous intergalactic dating app, is so socially awkward she can’t get past the first date? What if her father gives her a deadline to bring home a suitable match… and it’s the holiday party date of the launch of his newest app version?

That’s a lot of pressure on one gal to measure up to, so I’m off to beg my gorgeous neighbor, Khane, for help in polishing my dating skills.

* * *

Khane: One Marjian prince determined to help his neighbor in the compatibility department. One Marjian prince determined to hide his feelings for said neighbor, despite the attempts of his very own bodyguard to push them together. One Marjian prince determined to thwart her matchmaking trials. Because when it comes down to it, he doesn’t want anyone else near her.

Revised dating profile by Prince Khane of Marjia:
Single Earthian female with the beauty of a Goddess seeking an undeserving insignificant male to worship her in the way she deserves to be worshipped. He must be royalty, with a lifelong bodyguard, offer her immeasurable wealth, shower her with love and affection, and be prepared to know that her needs must always come before his.

There. That should do it.

Thoughts on Khane: Candace has herself in a bit of a pickle. It's do or die (not literally) time to find herself a match via the IDA and all the matches she's had recently are complete duds. In fact, the only bright point on her dates has been spending time with her next door neighbor after as they conduct a thorough post-mortem.

As much as she might be hardcore crushing on Khane and like EVERYTHING about him, Candace knows he's not an option. Candace needs to have an IDA approved match and Khane won't join the app. So they can smolder at one another, make serious eyes, maybe get a little handsy, but nothing more than that. Right?

HA. Wrong. Khane has it bad for Candace and Candace has it bad for Khane. And once things get taken to the next level, there's no going back. At least until Khane gets called back to his home planet. Yeah, there might in a little speed bump in there.

Several AWFUL first dates, a matchmaking bodyguard, a prince with his heart on the line, and a lady who found her special someone, she just needs to figure out how to make things work.
