Octavia Bryant is everything a well brought up young buppie woman from the Old Line State of Maryland is supposed to be. She is smart, classy, hardworking, respectful, independent, and waiting for a milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or caf? au lait colored Rhett Butler of her very own. Just as long as he's black she'll make her father proud. More than anything she wants love and a home and a family. The universe throws a wrench in her little buppie life after the men from Elyria arrive on Earth looking for wives. And they only have eyes for women of color. But Octavia isn't having any of them until six feet six inches of muscles covered in a sunset yellow skin named Kade Egon sees her and turns her life upside down. Kade Egon wants a wife and he has his heart set on Octavia from the moment he lays eyes on her. He wines her, dines her, and takes her on spaceship rides around the Milky Way. He promises her love, a home, family, and passion. How can she say no? Kade just seems too good to be true. There are still things he won't tell her about Elyria and himself. Octavia has been lied to before by smooth talking men who only wanted one thing. How can she be sure that Kade means all that he says? And what are Elyria's secrets? As her mother reminds her, the last time blacks got on a boat run by non-blacks they were enslaved. Can Octavia overcome her fears and leave her family and Earth behind to take a chance on love among the stars?
