Since the age of fifteen, Lisha has devoted her life to speaking out against the Life-Mate Law. Now, this law will force her to marry Jordan, the future Royal Commander. Lisha finds herself trapped in a twist of fate beyond her control. Then, she meets David, Jordan's brother, and discovers that fate has nothing at all to do with destiny. David has a knack for laughing away his problems and smiling as he confronts adversity. He has never known fear, until he meets Lisha. Suddenly, he's experiencing emotions too intense to cover up, desire too potent to control, and discovering that the thought of life without her – scares him to death. Together, they escape to Meratoba, a lawless planet in a distant galaxy far away from home. They discover that life there is dangerous, but their love grows stronger with each new obstacle they face. If the Life-Mate Law is abolished, they may have the chance to enjoy their life together, if they can stay alive long enough to make it back home.
