order to live in a community of aliens, her life turns upside down. Independent but never left alone, guarded by Rodani, an alien man trained to kill as well as protect, she learns that not everyone wants her there; not everyone wants her alive.

How do you know, in another culture, if you're being told the truth? How do you know, in an emotionally-reserved culture, if you're liked or disliked? Polished or uncouth? Laughed with, or laughed at? And how do you handle your ignorance? The unknown, the pressure to conform, the daily apologies, the entreaties to be taught? Ego and pride won't play here. They can't. Not if you want to fit in, not if you want to succeed. And even when you try, some will never accept you.

When a friendship is forged, when trust blooms, when a deeper bond begins to form, what boundaries do you dare cross? Where is the right? The wrong? Where is the harm in a forbidden love?

What does Cara have to do to stay safe? What of herself does she lose? What does she gain with Rodani? Find out where she fails--and where she finally succeeds--in The Fabric of Honor.
