Detective Violet Baker craves a man who can withstand the scrutinizing gaze of her law enforcement brethren. When a striking alien policeman arrives to aid her city's evacuation before an impending hurricane, his purple skin does nothing to dampen her attraction. But when a gruesome murder surfaces planet-side, her yearnings for romance must take a back seat to duty.
Intergalactic law enforcer Dzholh "Joe" Ban!drn has trailed his adversary across light-years, his pursuit nearing its end. Recognizing his foe's handiwork in the disturbing murder and the malfunctioning scanners, he understands the danger lurking near.

As the tempest rages on and threatens to obliterate crucial evidence, Violet can't shake off the feeling that Officer Joe is concealing something.

Sci Fi meets the Bakers...
I really enjoyed the tie in with the Relatively Risky Bakers. For a Sci Fi nerd this would be 5 stars, but I like a little more romance in my reads. Loved Violet's character, but Joe is really dry, even though I think he could develop a thing for Vi.
