When she was given the option of remaining in the container until her owner could turn her in for the reward, or being one of 15 females going to a mining moon to pleasure the drillers who were willing to pay for her services, she chose the latter.

So I forgot to update my phone. Big deal. Only there’s a glitch and an app opens a portal to another planet! Because that makes sense. Now I’m stuck on an alien planet with a grumpy prince. His eyes turn black when he’s upset. He can manipulate the shadows and grow a pair of massive, inky wings. I mean, sure, he’s hot, and he saved me from a pack of monsters, but I don’t trust anything about this place, let alone a surly alien. I’m going to find a way home.

She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.
