She brings home a discovery worth more than any oil well, yet all she wants is to return to her family and Neil Boru, the adoptive cousin she secretly loves and cannot have—or so she thinks.

As one of the Keepers, Taren is confident in his methods and abilities…until he meets Ami. When she crashes her probe onto the little known planet, Ami has no idea her life is about to change forever.
