I’m not exactly approachable. But when I’m told to parlay with a group of strength-worshipping aliens, I do my job anyway. Little do I expect where it will lead me. As my twin and I escape years of military service on board an alien spacecraft with two males claiming to be our destined mates, we have to wonder whether we’re starting an interplanetary war just by desiring our own freedom. With governments from at least a dozen planets and about three systems chasing us, the outer reaches of our galaxy won’t be far enough to hide us when our former employers decide they want us back -- by force if necessary.
