Resonance.



It's a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the 'khui'. With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they'll make great babies. It's a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely-populated world we're stranded on . . . and romantic, in a weird, alien way.



Everyone expects resonance to happen when twenty newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world. I doubt anyone expects the gorgeous, golden god named Ashtar to resonate to someone like me, though. He's fierce. Flirty. Powerful. Disgustingly handsome.



I'm . . . not any of those things. I'm bland. Boring. Clumsy.



But resonance seems to think we'd be great together. And Ashtar does, too . . .



Contains mature themes.
