Alien warrior Marco McKinley has been given the assignment of a lifetime as the personal protector of Jared and Kelsey Bennett, his king and queen on Earth. But the assignment does not stop there. It also includes Jared's beautiful cousin, Thea Haven, a soldier and his sworn enemy. As they struggle with their growing attraction to each other, a war erupts on Earth, pitting aliens against humans. How will Marco and Thea handle the volatile situation, and who will survive?

PARALLEL HEAT is the second installment in Ms. Knight's Parallel series. She has cleverly created some great and complex characters. Everyone seems to be hiding something, whether it's intentional or not. I anxiously await the third book in this fantastic paranormal series.
