Kira has found herself stranded on a frigid ice planet along with other human women. This alien world has a unique custom: human women are highly valued, and each is destined to be claimed by an extraterrestrial suitor. Kira's independent spirit keeps her from wanting a mate, but Aehako, a charismatic and flirtatious alien, stirs unfamiliar desires within her. The more he pursues her, the more Kira's resistance wanes, drawing her dangerously close to a line she thought she'd never cross. However, her new life conceals dark secrets, and Kira fears that her past actions could endanger the tribe that has become her sanctuary. The same malevolent forces that abducted her to this world are seeking her out, ready to destroy her new home in pursuit of her. Torn between the urge to reveal her truths to Aehako or flee to protect others, Kira faces a harrowing choice: embrace a future with the alien who has stolen her heart or sacrifice her own desires to safeguard the lives she has come to cherish.
