Mira should have flunked out of the academy—instead, she got the assignment everybody wanted.
When seventeen-year-old Mira Johns is selected by the academy ahead of six hundred other candidates as the first student ambassador ever to travel from the planet Nreim to Earth—despite coming dead last in every competition—Mira decides it must be because she’s the least likely to attract the Earth high school’s primitive and forbidden males.
That theory is blown when she does attract the attention of one of those males—a mysterious boy with a reputation as the crazy kid. After an initial period of resistance, Mira discovers they have a connection that transcends stupid rules.
When a series of serious accidents make it clear that someone wants to force her return, Mira realizes there’s got to be something sinister going on; but she can’t ask for protection from the agents assigned to protect her without revealing her big rule violation.
Mira’s only hope to keep her new friends safe and stay on the planet with her new love is to uncover the truth to why she, the most mediocre of candidates, was actually chosen for this assignment—before the agency discovers her secret and sends her back home.
