About the Book

An ordinary teenage girl has to impersonate an alien princess after being mistakenly kidnapped in this YA sci-fi romance from debut author Chani Lynn Feener.

Book Synopsis

Aliens? Old news. Being abducted by aliens and stuck on another planet with the fate of a few worlds and a hot alien bodyguard's heart in your hands? Now that's another story.

Delaney is just a regular girl, but by the time anyone believes that she's not the missing alien princess, Lissa Olena, she's been kidnapped by the princess' bodyguard, Ruckus, and imprisoned in an alien palace far away from everything she's ever known. And until Olena can be found, Delaney's case of mistaken identity will have to stay hidden. The consequences of failure? A bloody alien war and a hostile take over of Earth.

No pressure or anything.

If she could stay in Ruckus' arms, the ruse might even hold up, but Trystan, the princess' cruel, cunning betrothed is quite taken with his future bride's new attitude and seems intent on unraveling all her secrets. To keep herself and her planet safe, Delaney will need to stay out of his way and off of his mind.
