Synopsis
A top-secret government initiative, Project Eve, has built more than just a colony—it has created a future where human-alien pairings are the foundation of Earth’s survival. For Tess Holloway, joining Eden isn’t just about starting over—it’s about finally having the life she’s always wanted. A mate. A family. She watched her sister find happiness in Eden, and now, she’s ready for her own chance. Tess has willingly chosen to be paired with an alien mate. What she didn’t choose was Mostef. A brilliant mind among his kind, Mostef isn’t interested in the colony’s matchmaking program. He has no time for pairings, no need for distractions, and certainly no intention of settling down. He’s Elix—one of a species where males are homemakers and females work outside the home. But he’s never followed tradition, never been drawn to the instinct that drives others of his kind to nest. Until now. With Eden experiencing unexplained malfunctions that threaten its survival, Mostef is determined to uncover the cause. It’s his job, his responsibility—but working with Tess changes everything. Their partnership challenges him in ways he never expected, and as the danger to the colony grows, so do the choices he thought he’d never have to make.
