After receiving a distress signal from a ship attacked by Marcus Models, Stag and his crew set off on a mission. But instead of enemies, they find the only surviving crew member. Nala is human, but after Stag's experiences on Earth at the mercy of humans, there are no creatures he despises more. When a small woman mistakes him for an android and tries to order him around, he decides to save her and make her pay for his insults. Nala Vestria has lost her ship, her crew and her father, and now she has become the cyborg's personal maid. Stag is moody, short-tempered, and doesn't trust people at all... not to mention he's strong, domineering, and the most seductive man she's ever seen. When Stag is temporarily in her power, she doesn't know what she wants more - to kill him or kiss him. But life is so short. Nala chooses the second option. She quickly becomes a distraction that Stag cannot afford, especially when he experiences the unique pleasure of the flesh with her. Stag will take Nala to Garden - his home planet - and get rid of her... and the emotions she caused. But the journey home will be a real challenge, and Nala may be more of a support than a hindrance. Both for the ship and for the lone cyborg who owns it.
