When Lieutenant Leia Ballore is sent to collect stolen cargo recovered from pirates, she never expects to meet the man of her dreams. But Detective Jake Marshall is off limits. He's been kidnapped from twentieth-century Earth, brought 3000 years into the future to a galaxy where he's considered a slave. And it's Leia's job to make sure he is returned home. Jake never imagined finding a woman like Leia Ballore, especially finding her in another galaxy far into the future. Despite the strangeness of his situation, he doesn't want to leave Leia, a woman he's come to care for deeply. Yet to stay means giving up everything he knows, ignoring his own duty and facing life in a universe where he's hunted as a slave. Is their love strong enough to overcome social taboos, distance, even time itself? And will they survive long enough to find out?
