Shadow
Their perfect love may demand the ultimate sacrifice.
Tragedy sends clairvoyant Mandy Ellison to seek refuge in the small town of Argent, Idaho. Her ESP failed her, and now she’s closing her eyes to the second sight forever—until Shadow, an alien from planet ’Topia, comes into her healing and wellness center with a request. Will she help him find a mate?
Time has run out for Shadow. His genetics have been programmed with a self-destruct sequence. If he doesn’t bond with a genmate, a female carrying the same mating gene, he will die. But how will he find her? The new clairvoyant in town offers his last desperate hope for survival.
As Shadow and Mandy work together to locate a genetic match, the star-crossed pair fall in love. Unfortunately, every indication shows they are not genmates.
Will Mandy find him a mate, hand him over to another woman, and save his life—or will Shadow decide true love is worth dying for?

Reviews and Comments
This is the fourth book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all of them. I was so happy to see Shadow finally find his Genmate before he ran out of time and the way things turned out was amusing. I really enjoyed how his relationship with Mandy began as well as getting to see the start of Inferno's relationship with his Genmate and their meeting. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Inferno in the next book and getting to know him better.
