Claudia is living every single mom's dream... well, not really, but she's the type to see the glass half-full.Working the night shift to make ends meet, Claudia barely gets by with help from her best friend and her steady cleaning job. She can't complain though. There's food on the table and diapers on her baby's butt, so she keeps chugging along. Her job at the Intake Center not only pays her bills, but also feeds her fantasies whenever she catches sight of the gorgeous Phaetons coming down to Earth to collect their brides under the Bridal Pact.Finch knew that he would eventually get a bride...he just didn't expect that it would start with a kidnapping. Finch spotted Claudia long before she ever laid eyes on him, and he's not about to let her out of his sight. After watching his friends and fellow warriors come to heel for the human women in their lives, Finch can't help but wonder what the big deal is with getting a bride. One thing he does know is that he can't keep the curvy Claudia out of his head, especially when he craves the feeling of her under his battle-hardened body every time he goes to bed.When Finch is given the chance to save Claudia from an unseen threat, he takes charge and hustles her right off planet Earth without asking for her permission or that of the Phaeton council.His actions have consequences, but the big question is: who will pay for them?
