A star may fall, but her light never dies.

Nova Seraphine has spent one hundred and thirty-six years admiring Earth's beauty from afar-until one day she falls from the heavens and crashes to its surface. But when she's snatched up by a grumpy bounty hunter, Nova discovers Earth might not be the sanctuary it appears. Suddenly, her dreams of exploring its wonders seem foolish and she longs to return to her place among the stars.

Bounty hunter Ryker Thornbrooke has spent the last four years buried in his work to escape the pain of his fiancée's sudden death. So when the king of Emberfell requests Ryker's service to retrieve a magical fallen star in exchange for a hefty sum of gold, Ryker can't refuse-despite his dislike of the greedy king. But when he lays eyes on the star, he realises she's not just a powerful magical being ... but a person. A mysterious and beautiful woman-and as he drags her back to the castle she begins to awaken feelings in him that he thought died many years ago.

Nova is now under the king's control, and it doesn't sit well with Ryker. Acting on impulse, he stages a daring rescue and vows to help her find a way back to the heavens. On the run, as they share heated kisses and secret touches, Ryker's hardened heart starts softening, and he begins to wonder if he can let the star go. Nova begins to question whether she wants to go home at all . . . Or is love worth the risk of living in hiding forever. Perhaps home is a man, who might just become her greatest love yet . . . If he will open his heart.
