Jana wed an unmated Illibrium miner.

​

She was so entranced with him, she threw caution to the wind, testing mating compatibility with Ruxon of Twenty-Seven—unlocking a night of raw passion and words of commitment with a sweaty alien miner in the holodeck of the Hunter station.

​

But the very next morning her new husband was gone, never to be seen from again. His promises broken and his vows meaningless.

​

Two months later Jana discovered she was carrying his child.

​

Now she’s on a mission to find the recalcitrant miner who called her his “Bride”.

​

At her new job on the mining planet Timbur, Jana finds Ruxon and learns his crew calls him “Heavy”. Her long-lost husband glares at her, as if she were a complete stranger—because she is. He doesn’t remember her.

​

Ruxon’s amnesia isn’t accidental. Someone is trying to keep them apart. But there’s an old Earth saying: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

 

Jana will save her marriage, her baby, and her man, too!
