Can a human female really be an alien's destined mate?

Amelia is on holiday, hiking in Scotland, when a weird-shaped dart hits her in the neck. Almost immediately, she loses consciousness. Waking up some time later, she discovers she's being held captive on an alien spaceship along with twenty other women.

The Gracian race is nearing extinction. They've spent years in space searching for compatible females. Complicating the situation further, not just any female will do—the Gracians are only able to have children with their eternal mate, also known as theirspark.

Trian, a Gracian warrior and the captain of the Gemorph, knows he's reached that stage in his life where he must find his spark soon or he'll 'flare' and succumb to death. Basically, he's a ticking time bomb.

While exploring a new part of space, the Gemorph comes across Earth and finds a Lesh ship cruising nearby. The Lesh are notorious for kidnapping females and selling them off to be slaves. Trian vows that he will protect these females and prevent them from suffering that cruel fate.

When they rescue the human females, Trian is intrigued by a beautiful woman named Amelia, and he begins to suspect she could in fact be his spark. But she's not at all happy about her current situation, so he'll have to proceed cautiously. They'll have to take things slow, despite the fact he could flare and die at any moment.
