Desperate times call for desperate measures. Trapped on the low-tech planet New Eden after a devastating earthquake, Hannah’s last-ditch attempt to save her people via a galactic SOS brings help in the form of a cyborg crew in need of a new place to live, led by the enigmatic RH103.
Rebuilding the ravaged New Eden is only one of the crises RH103 is facing. He doesn’t know why he and his crew were created, how they acquired their starship is a mystery, and worst of all, his cybernetics are failing. His attraction to Hannah is a distraction he can’t afford. But her returning his feelings is a surprise, and might be just what he needs before a total system shutdown.
All her life, Jasmine has dreamed about a life found only in the yellowed pages of old books in her home on New Eden, a settlement on the brink of extinction until help arrived in the form of a starship crewed with cyborgs.
A forgotten planet five stops past the edge of nowhere would have been the perfect place to start his life over, if the cyborg designated SP29 could be the emotionless machine he sometimes wishes he could be. Caught between his feelings for Jasmine and fellow cyborg, Darius, with whom he spent one unforgettable night a long time ago, he doesn’t want to choose between them.
But Jasmine and Darius have other ideas about how to make a relationship work, so no one has to be excluded.
