One summer, an internship in Africa, bloodlust, sharp teeth, and a boatload of fear are all that stand in the way of Bella Cullen landing a job at the Atlanta Aquarium - As long as she doesn't count cocky shark expert Edward Masen on her list.

She was the leader of her people. 

He was a gruff, by-the-book star ship captain. 

An interstellar war, negotiations for a peace treaty gone wrong and a taboo relationship between two species. 

Captain Edward Cullen was in charge of the starship, Volvo. He, along with his crew, were given a mission to deliver Empress Nirabelle of the Cygnarian people to the nearby planet of Lapus, to negotiate a treaty between their two worlds. For over a millennia, they have been fighting a vicious battle. For what? They don’t even know. It’s ingrained in their minds and their history. 

The Empress is to meet with the Crown Prince of Lapus, Jakob. The Volvo is transporting her and her envoy, Maralice to the planet. There are strict rules in place for the Empress’s transport. She is to not have any contact with any males on the ship, per the cultural norms of Cygnarian society. The trip should take as little time as possible and if no headway has been made within one day of being in orbit, Captain Cullen is to transport the Empress from the planet’s surface. 

However, something goes terribly wrong on Lapus. One communication to the Volvo and a brief face-to-face conversation forever changes the future of the Empress and Captain Cullen. 

Will they survive this threat or are the Star Crossed lovers doomed before they even have a chance?

Bella Swan, reeling from the unceremonious ending of her engagement on her wedding day, heads on her honeymoon minus ONE groom. Edward Cullen, is 'sleeping' his way through the guests at the resort on Isle Esme. They meet on the island off the coast of Brazil but will they find love on a ilha do amor? The island of love?

Raised by her single father, Isabella Swan grew up in the land of men.  Their favorite pastime when she was younger was to spend the night at the local dirt track, feeling the energy of the cars as they fought for position.  Was it any wonder that eventually she would end up on the track herself?  

Having paid her dues, Isabella (Izzy) Swan has made it to the big leagues, officially racing for a franchise in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.  Can she hold her ground against a track full of men who want to see her fail, especially her teammate Cocky Edward Cullen?
