Madison Altman gave up on love when her fiancé was killed on their wedding day. Fleeing the heartbreak, she disguises herself as a man and accepts a job that takes her far, far away from Earth-chaperoning mail-order brides going to meet their alien mates on planet Dakon. Unfortunately, on this trip, the spaceship leaves without her, stranding her on the icy planet in the middle of a blizzard. Luckily, Dakonian leader Enoki comes to her rescue. Tall and dark, with a sexy, gravelly voice, he's just the sort of alien man a human girl could go for-if she was open to love and wasn't pretending to be a man. The winds of fate had whispered to Enoki that his mate was coming, so he's stunned when she isn't among the latest shipment of females from Earth. After all the chosen men of his tribe pair off with their females, the only person left is Madison, the young human man with whom he'd developed a friendship. Suppressing his disappointment, Enoki devotes himself to helping his marooned friend get back to his home planet. But why do the winds of fate still whisper his mate is near? And why does his gut tell him not to let Madison go?
