The future—where protocols must never be broken—is a very dangerous place indeed...

To save herself and her new lover, Lani Summerland agrees to marry Liev Blackburn. If not for the fact that the two of them are pawns in a game with no rule book, this might be a good thing for both of them.

Liev can't believe how lucky he is. But someone is after Lani, and, until he finds out who that is, there can be no honeymoon bliss.

Lani is targeted with not a clue what the stalker wants. The bodies begin piling up behind them. Luckily, they're not alone in their fight for survival. Lani's talking, super-intelligent cat, Charming Marvin, intends to save the day and his mistress so he can get back to his own chosen bliss—a much-needed cat nap.
