Laurel Ormand doesn't know where she is or how she got there. Her head is bandaged, and half of her hair is cut off, and a kindly alien is telling her he rescued her from the intergalactic slave trade. So why does she hear screams echoing in the halls of his space ship? Druath NaKam is a faithful soldier of the Detyen Legion. But nothing prepared him for torture at the hands of a sadistic scientist with a grudge against Detyens. The only thing that can keep him sane is the woman on board who might be his destiny, but the road to escape is long and treacherous.

After witnessing the impossible mating of his fellow soulless warrior, Kayde doesn't expect a denya of his own. But whenever Quinn Porter walks into a room, he can't keep himself from watching her, from following her, from wanting her. And those desires mean trouble for a man who isn't supposed to feel anything. When Kayde undertakes a mission to journey back to his Detyen home, he's ready for the solitude. What he doesn't expect is Quinn hiding away in one of the bunks on his ship.

Raze NaFeen has sacrificed everything in service of his fellow Detyen warriors. Refugees without a planet, they search for answers. Who destroyed Detya all those years ago? And why? Otherwise cursed to die at 30 without a mate, Raze and his comrades have taken drastic action, destroying their souls and killing the emotions of young warriors to prolong their lives. Raze feels nothing. No love, no hate, no fear. Until he meets Sierra. Sierra Alvarez has a lot to live up to. As the daughter of a celebrated general, she's expected to follow in his militaristic footsteps.  

Toran NaLosen has no future and no hope. His path is bleak: die at 30 or sacrifice his emotions to survive a few more years. Stranded on Earth and far from home, the last person he expects to meet is the one woman meant for him, his denya. Iris Mason protects the Earth in her own way by investigating threats and reporting on them to the Sol Defense Agency. At work she's thriving, but personally the past year has ground her down and tested her resolve. Still recovering from the implosion of her last relationship, she doesn't want the risk that comes with a new man.

Ruwen NaNaran knows he's a goner. The curse of his alien species has put a countdown on his life, and he'll be dead before the month is out. Unless he finds his denya, the only woman in the universe who can save him.
