When Eve Tesler booked a visit with one of Madame Allegria's Krave, notorious alien lovers with special, non-human skills between the sheets, she never thought that she'd fall in love with him…or learn about the dark secrets behind the well-known brothel.
Now, after escaping from Everton with Khiva, they land on Dumera, a neutral colony where they hope to start a future together without having to hide in shadows. But the memory of Madame Allegria and the Krave they'd had to leave behind still haunt them, as does the memory of Khiva's missing mother and brother.
To complicate matters, as they begin to navigate life together in a new, strange place, something unthinkable happens: Eve becomes pregnant.
