Iroth was just after a quick buck when he came to Earth, but ends up accused of trying to assassinate the galactic crown prince. Forced into hiding, he transforms into one of the human's primitive four-legged pets and takes refuge with a kind human female who loves dogs. Maise expected to leave the charity auction with a hot date. Instead, she goes home with a wounded Great Dane and a whole lot of questions. When the giant canine transforms into a sultry blue alien with amazing turquoise eyes and asks for her help, she can't refuse... until she helps him back onto his space ship, and he won't let her leave. She's determined to find an escape, but the more time they spend together, the more she suspects he's not the alien monster she imagined. But will her strength and kindness be enough to melt the armor around his heart?
