They’ve dedicated their lives to saving others, but can they save themselves? Seventeen years ago, they met while doing emergency response work following Hurricane Rita. Maybe it was adrenaline that brought them together, maybe it was love, but it didn’t matter. It wasn’t meant to be. They lived in different parts of the world. They agreed to share one night, then went their separate ways. Dr. Clara Bownton has spent her entire medical career saving people’s lives and she’s always had a soft spot for Texas. But the years of traveling to disaster sites and war zones have worn her down. When she’s offered a job as the Director of Emergency Medicine at a hospital in Houston, she jumps at the chance to settle down and tackle a new challenge. She didn’t expect that challenge to be a face from her past. Allen Jeffers thought he’d spend his career in the Army until a sniper’s bullet changed his mind. He headed home to Texas to become a cop instead, working his way up the ranks to police detective. A life of service has left him hardened and grumpy, at least until he sees Clara again. But life’s taken a toll on her too. She’s not the sweet ray of sunshine she used to be when they were younger.

Living in a town full of shifters, witches, vampires, and other mystical creatures, she thinks she’s seen everything. She was wrong.

Sure, I’m one of the only humans in this magical little part of the world, but the residents welcome me with open arms. At least I thought they did, before someone tried to play an April Fool’s joke on me. There’s no way the hot younger guy flirting with me is into a middle-aged woman like me. Oh, and the fake blue skin is taking the joke a little too far…but I can’t help but wish this was real. Also, why am I suddenly having prophetic dreams since this guy showed up? Edfollopxen (or Ed, to his new friends) When I left my home planet of Genervia in search of my fated mate, I had no idea I’d find one as perfect as the curvy little human they call Marian on the very first planet I visited. It may take a while to win her love, but I’m willing to put in the work.
