Chameleon collapsed into his natural form. “I can’t see! She shot me with something.” His eyes, nose, and mouth burned.
“Yes, you scared her, and she reacted,” Psy said calmly.
The pain was excruciating. He started to rub his streaming eyes, but Psy grabbed his hand. “Don’t do that until we figure out what she shot you with. Let’s get you back to the ship.”
Psy had to guide him. What if he’d been permanently blinded?
“Okay, the steps are right in front of you. One foot up,” Psy said. Chameleon stumbled into the spacecraft.
“The drone captured it all. We saw what happened,” Tigre’s voice boomed. “Let’s get him into a med pod.”
Psy helped him climb into the capsule. The lid closed, and the unit ticked as the analysis wave rolled over him. Moments later, a cool mist sprayed his face, providing some relief but not enough. Then a robotic arm swiveled out and pried open his left eyelid. He flinched. Liquid squirted into his eye, cooling the burn. Then the medi-bot treated the other eye.
The top rolled off the capsule, and he sat up. Besides Psy and Tigre, Wingman had joined them.
“Better?” Psy asked.
“Much. Thank you for your help.” He wouldn’t have gotten to the ship if not for the Verital’s assistance.
“What did she shoot me with?”
“According to the medi-report, it was a plant-based irritant that causes a burning sensation when it comes into contact with mucous membranes.”
“Why did she attack me? I wasn’t threatening her.”
“She felt threatened,” Psy said. “She was scared to death. She was afraid you were going to eat her.”
“Actually, you were threatening her.” Wingman smirked. “While you were gone, I uploaded the complete body of knowledge available on Earth’s Internet onto a data dot. The Earth creature you personified? It’s called a black bear. It’s an Earth predator. They’re considered very dangerous.”

When you wish upon a falling star, er, UFO…
Young widow Kevanne Girardi catches sight of a meteorite streaking across the sky and wishes for a good handyman to help make her rundown lavender farm a big success. Instead, she gets a shapeshifting alien who apparently has never seen a leaky faucet before. But his loving and noble spirit make him just the man to fix her wounded heart. He hasn’t promised her forever, but a girl can hope, can’t she? Maybe she’ll make another wish…
When his ship tumbles out of the sky and lands on Earth, Chameleon never expects to fall for a human woman. Unfortunately, he can’t stay. He made a mistake that led to the devastation of an entire planet, and now the survivors are depending on him to get them to safety. He must repair his ship and leave before the Xeno Consortium finds him and Earth becomes endangered, too. But oh, he wishes he could stay with Kevanne forever…
Can a twist of fate make their wishes come true?

Acknowledgements
A tribe is a great thing to have, and I’m so grateful to mine. I’d like to thank my editor Kate Richards, line editor Nan Sipe, proofreader Celeste Jones, and Lisa Medley, cheerleader & beta reader. I’d also like to acknowledge Tasha Black who’d come up with the phrase “playing with fyre” in a game I’d hosted in a Facebook group. I knew right away Playing with Fyre would be the perfect title for this third book.
