For her, he glows - literally.

Grace Moretti never expected the dating app to match her with the one perfect guy for her. Problem is, he's not only a guy - he's an extraterrestrial. But when Zyx's profile pops up, the Jersey girl's curiosity gets the better of her. In their first few conversations, Zyx is adorably awkward, earnest and romantic for someone who looks like a gecko crossed with an axolotl. He's got shimmering scales and feathery gills - just what her Mafia Don father wouldn't approve of.

Zyx's bioluminescent stripes and frills pulse with color whenever Grace laughs, betraying emotions his species was never meant to show.. When he asks Grace to be his mate according to ancient customs, Grace faces an impossible choice: the comfortable life she knows, or a love that transcends species.
