Skye Tucker has made solitude her way of life. Tucked into a cabin deep in the Virginia mountains, she’s long stopped expecting honesty or kindness from anyone. Silence feels safer than betrayal, and distance has always been easier than trust.

That changes the night a crash rattles the forest around her home. An alien pod buried in her backyard should have sent her running, but curiosity keeps her rooted. Inside are two strangers refugees who are wounded, desperate, and carrying a quiet warmth that unsettles her resolve.

What begins as her reluctant act of protection quickly turns into something more dangerous: desire that won’t be ignored. Skye has survived by pushing everyone away, yet these men ask her to risk the one thing she’s never surrendered her heart.

If she lets them in, she could find love beyond the stars. Or lose the fragile safety she’s fought to keep.

Will she hold on to isolation, or step into a passion that rewrites her world?
