Journey Home — Marie Medina

Rebecca has been warned not to trust Arorians, but the one who rescues her from the aliens who sought to sell her to the highest bidder seems both kind and trustworthy. Caen is like a dream come true, but she's scared to give him her heart, even after they become lovers.

Caen falls for Rebecca immediately, but she's so afraid of trusting her feelings he can't get her to admit she's falling for him, too. As their journey draws to an end, he's doing everything in his power to convince her to stay with him forever. But when a misunderstanding drives them apart, he's left powerless and has to wait for her to see what her heart has been telling her all along.
