So he leaves his world, takes on the Earth name Chris West, and makes a payment to Star Systems Unlimited for a life mate. When he bonds with Caitlyn Davis, he thinks life can't get any better. But she was married before, and memories of her deceased husband still linger around her home.

When a mail-order bride arrives while her groom is away, what will she do when sparks begin to fly with her future husband's best friend?
