Betty wants to use her scholarship to escape very, very far away.

Her ex now in prison for attacking both her and the officer who responded to the domestic violence call, Betty has a plan. She'll apply for the Mylos scholarship and use it to move far away from anyone she knows, using it to give herself a fresh start. At thirty-eight, she's sure her chances at being a mate match are so close to nil that it's negligible.

Her course of study of choice?

To become a nurse, to help others as she helps herself. Her plan goes awry when she's matched to Proslo, one of the doctors aboard the flagship. Can she overcome her past and let the good doctor heal her soul while she holds his heart in her hands?
