She can't remember her kidnapping. Laura Howard had found a second chance at love on a planet light-years from Earth--until a near-fatal fall erases all memory of her time on Tolar. Angry, frightened, and impulsive, she rejects the Tolari ruler who loves the woman she was before her injury, vowing to live free on Tolar and master the empathic gifts that came with the Jorann's blessing. The Paran gained Laura's love once. But the woman before him now is vastly different and determined to have nothing to do with him, even though they are both in grave danger, and empathically bonded. To save both their lives, he may have to choose the one path he never wanted: to fight for the leadership of Tolar's ruling caste. The Fall is the engrossing standalone third book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. If you like planetary adventure and heart-warming romance, you'll love Christie Meierz' tales of the reclusive Tolari.
