Time Out — Karly Maddison

When the moody Xephon star pilot Chitra is temporarily posted to a rehabilitation farm for horses on Earth, he finds himself unexpectedly fighting the exotic Earth woman Sabine Winters for the guardianship of his young nephew. If only she weren't so distractingly beautiful, then things would be so much easier Sabine, the child's maternal aunt, is not what she appears to be on the outside-she's hiding links to Chitra's home world that could shatter the tenuous bond that is growing between them. She's all too aware how volatile the situation could become if Chitra finds out who and what she really is. Only family pressure keeps her on task, despite her nagging doubts. She attempts to abscond with her nephew but is caught in a dangerous situation that only Chitra can help her out of. But if she asks for his help, he will discover her darkest secret.
