Lainey Peterson only has time for three things --- her career, her two best friends, and her education. The last thing she needs is a relationship. Two years ago she let a man into her heart, and it nearly cost her everything. Her promise to avoid men had been working, until a wardrobe disaster on a girls’ night out brings her face-to-face with a handsome, mysterious stranger. She never thought she’d see him again…let alone at work…as her newest coworker.

Jenna Watkins has never quite found the place she belongs. Growing up as the only child of a military father, her life was constantly on the move. New city, new school, new faces. With a wild personality and a no-filter mouth, making friends wasn’t something she was good at.

Enzo crashed to earth with his battalion 400 years ago; now his life was avoiding the government and taking care of his people. He never expected Deja to be able to breach the barrier and stand on the doorstep of his club looking for a job. His carefully planned life was going up in smoke, and each new day was now better than the last.

Jewels still hasn't learned to trust herself. Grateful that her spiritual leader has temporarily healed her debilitating panic attacks, the anxious 25-year-old doesn’t question the man when he encourages her to take a job at a local strip club. But when she starts putting his behaviors together, she becomes suspicious of his motives.
