Holly discovers she can teleport anywhere with only a thought. When Jai is injured, she is forced to take him back to Rommader for neither of them will survive the breaking of their soul bond. Upon arrival, they learn Queen Amira has been kidnapped. 

On a ship traveling across the universe, Amira is forced to develop a formula for an amulet with unlimited traveling power--or her captors will murder her husband. Unwilling to let her enemies have that much power, Amira must devise a plan to escape while pretending to cooperate, but in order to do so, she realizes she must make an amulet. 

Can Holly find a way to save her, or will Amira figure out the formula and make it home on her own without being lost in the cold, dark heart of the universe?

Genre:  YA Sci-fi

~ About the Book ~ 

Falling in love with your gorgeous new neighbor isn't a bad thing, but when he turns out to be the bodyguard of a princess from a planet nine billion light-years away, life gets complicated. 

Seventeen-year-old stargazer Holly Adams never imagined she’d find herself trying to prevent the overthrow of an alien government. When Jai and his sister Amira move into the house down the street, Holly is immediately drawn to them. Jai acts suspicious of her from the start, making Holly more curious about their oddities. When Holly learns they are from a different planet, she does what she can to help protect Amira from Shander, a man who wants to marry her by force in order to take over the kingdom her father rules. 

Mistaken identity, a botched kidnapping, and a first kiss that bonds Holly and Jai for life are hard enough, but when Shander believes Holly to be the princess, things get even more dangerous.

Teaser:

“It’s so good to see you.” Her mom’s eyes flitted between Erin and Jake. “And who is this?”

Jake stepped forward and held out his hand. “I’m Jake. Nice to meet you.”

“I’m Suzanne. This is her dad, Bill. Erin has said ... nothing about you. How long have you two been dating?” her mom beamed.

“We’re not—” Erin blurted out just as Jake said, “A few months.”

Erin could feel her face redden. “Yes, what he said. We’ve been together for a ... while. I just hadn’t told you yet.”

“Did you hear that, Bill? Our daughter’s been sneaking around with a guy.” Mom pretended to be upset, but she was practically dancing.

“It’s great to meet you.” Her dad held his hand out to Jake again and pulled him into a hug.

Jake looked at Erin over her dad’s shoulder, and Erin cringed at his stunned expression. What had just happened?

“Do you have the ring already?” Her mom stared at Erin’s hand. “Oh, you do. Let me see!”

Erin held out her hand as she felt her face redden. She should stop this. She should tell them right now what happened. But she couldn’t speak as her mom oohed and ahhed over the diamond and had to show her dad.
