True Lies by Jaci Burton

UlRic "Ric" Lor is not happy to be interrupted just when he's finally about to attain sexual release. He's instructed to go to Earth instead of enjoying his recreation period. Ric doesn't find Earth women attractive in the least, so he's not in a very good mood. A M'Loran prisoner has escaped from an Earth facility and gone back to his planet; Ric's job is to recapture him with the assistance of a human female.

Police hypnotist Mia Logan isn't too thrilled about the orders herself. She prefers to avoid space travel, so a mandatory trip with an aggravating alien is not her idea of a good time. Ric is the most irritating man she's ever come across. Then why is she finding herself attracted to him? What will happen if she acts on her attraction? Does she dare use her hypnotic powers to find out?

Will Ric and Mia shed their preconceptions and take a chance on lust? Are their emotions involved, or just their hormones? What will happen when they track down their quarry? Will Mia go back to Earth and will Ric allow her to walk out of his life, forever?
