After an accident, Lucie has spent the past two years nearly blind and dependent on her owner, Cael. But things are changing for Lucie and the other slaves. As part of an agreement for a chance at a new life, Cael has given up his rights to Lucie. Now she finds herself faced with a ship full of Tarnan males who want only one thing -- a mate.
Prince Drexyl of Tourmalane is intent on collecting the bounty on the four Keshpan males on board the Lynten 12. What he doesn't expect is to come face to face with his destined mate -- a woman he'd hadn't believed might really exist. Having come from a world where women are extinct, Drexyl is completely enthralled with the tiny human female, and willing to do anything to keep her by his side -- even take on an entire ship of Tarnans by himself.
Lucie and Drexyl have been drawn to each other from the very first, but the Tarnans aren't going to give her up without a fight. Will it come to an all out war between the races, or will the two lovers find another way to be together?
