Two men can take her to the stars...but she can choose only one.

With Earth long ago disintegrated into dust, Dr. Darla Wynter has been given the honor—more like a last, desperate hope—of choosing a compatible mate to join her seedbearer mission to save humankind from extinction.

She quickly realizes this will be no simple task. Golden-haired Marcus Olsen moves like a dancer in battle, and his pale eyes capture her like a tractor beam. Brad Hunter's hauntingly dark features and bottomless obsidian gaze hint at secrets she shouldn't want to know.

Both men are perfect potential mates. Both men are driven to join her on this critical quest. And both men share something else she never expected. Something that quickly turns her dispassionate, clinical decision into a heart-wrenching dilemma.

As the countdown to launch looms closer, Darla realizes forming a bond with one man will force her to leave one man behind—and break more than one heart. Unless she can change the rules so everyone wins...
