The want ad read:NANNY WANTEDMust have desire for excitement, adventure, danger When Miranda Wilson is hired to care for Dominic Andrus' triplets, she has no idea she's about to have the adventure of a lifetime. At first, it's like the plot of a Gothic novel: young governess, mysterious employer, three motherless children, but there the resemblance ends, for Dominic Andrus is an interplanetary criminal, hiding his children on Earth to prevent their abduction. As she's thrown into a war between the Andruses and a madman sworn to destroy them, Miranda's life becomes a wild sci-fi movie. She takes it all in stride until she meets Kit, Dominic's younger brother, a man nursing a secret anguish. Miranda's ready to risk her life to save her young charges and the man she loves, even if it means she'll never see Earth again. Being a nanny has never been so exciting...or so deadly.

Xander Taluti is dead, and his brother Zane has called a halt to the feud with the Andruses.As the two clans attempt to return to peacetime, it appears happily ever after is in store for everyone. Kit openly declares his love for Miranda; Niki and Ardala prepare for their long-wished-for wedding; and other secret romances are now revealed.Nevertheless, Dominic's plans to transform his family into law-abiding citizens are thwarted when the Gataen police invade the House of Andrus and old nemesis Detective Ceran Synubis arrests Dom, Kit, and Niki.In the clutches of an alien justice system where a man is guilty until proven otherwise, Miranda finds herself the prosecution's chief witness in a trial where the truth may convict the man she loves of a crime he didn't commit, and only a miracle-or a long-hidden secret-can save him.
