Love and survival collide when trust is the ultimate gamble... Marshall Clark III never meant to hurt Amity Landers. But the clone indentured to Dark Ops couldn't allow his attraction to a beautiful woman destroy his sole chance for freedom. Having inadvertently put her life in danger, he's willing to marry her so she can gain sanctuary on planet Refuge. But is she grateful? No. Instead, the formerly sweet, enchanting woman has turned bitter and angry and seems intent on making his life miserable. Fortunately, the Cosmic Mates marriage contract provides an escape clause. However, he's locked in for a year until he can regain his freedom. Terminally unlucky in love, Amity Landers still had high hopes when she met the handsome, charming Marshall Clark. But after a magical first date that swept her off her feet, she's crushed when she discovers the Dark Ops agent used her, faking interest to obtain the information he wanted. And worse, contact with him jeopardized her life. The only recourse is to accept his grudging offer of marriage, which will enable her to get asylum. But she'll be counting the days until she can break free of her fake, pity marriage. When even friendship seems out of reach, can two people in a fake marriage who hate each other find true love before time runs out?
