Being a single mom is the hardest most heartwarming job in the world... and sometimes out of it!

When Cadence learns about a free day care center for single moms in her neighborhood, she thinks it's too good to be true. But the teachers are amazing, and her son is thriving.

There's only one problem. In order to keep him enrolled, she has to agree to do some missionary work... off planet.

It's a pretty good deal: amazing off-world travel and exceptional daycare for Mason, all in the company of the school family she has already come to love. Cadence and the other moms are all onboard for the adventure, until they arrive to learn the real reason they are on Soltero.

The watery frontier of Soltero is drowning in desperate single men. And these lonely dragon shifters definitely expect the women to fulfill positions other than missionary.

Cadence is shocked when the hulking beast of a man she was told would be her host informs her that he wants her for his mate.

R'hys is powerful, strong, and more than a little scary. But there is something about watching him soften to her son that makes her think he might have a softer side he reserves only for them.

And if she's honest with herself, she can't deny the way the big gorgeous alien makes her feel when he fixes her in his possessive gaze.

Cadence is willing to play along for her son's sake. But how can she protect her own heart when R'hys Zaar is stealing another piece of it every day with his hard body and hungry eyes?
