About this item

Working for a scaled merchant takes a turn when her ancestor decides to stake a claim on the only human on his world. She strikes up a friendship and works toward romance. He goes straight for romance.


Kris missed her friend when they parted ways, but continuing to work with the merchant they had been contracted to is still fun. Controlling the blazing heat that she emits under duress is also awkward, but she manages. Her boss has provided her with a series of items to make her life easier.
Now that they are on the merchant’s homeworld, Kris finds out that her allergies are threatening her life, as about seventy-five percent of the foods are out to kill her. She is careful, but as none of the locals are allergic to anything, they don’t take her situation seriously.
A sudden trip to medical care results in scans that let the local Hmrain know she isn’t just a visitor. Overseer genetics are in her body, and they just need a little something to get them started. Essan flexes his wings and looks at the alien, making a decision that will change his life and hers. For eons.

    It is an excellent story. But just about the time you get caught up in it, she slams on the brakes, and it is over. Great storyteller, but you will spend a lot of time thinking, "Then what?"

    I am so glad to have more in this series. Very partial since it got me hooked on her books. It is about Kris, introduced 2 books ago, mentioned in 1 ago (can’t remember the numbers, it’s late and I fought sleep long enough to finish this one). If you like this series, you won’t be disappointed in buying. Once again, I’m bad at reviews but like to leave an honest opinion on whether I liked or not. I’ve honestly said I didn’t enjoy the one or two before these last 3 or some of the last Betas released compared to the beginning ones.
