Talech is a an Argurma made into a monster by experiments conducted by human scientists after crashing on Earth. After years of being stasis, he has one desire—to claim the female scientist. He has no guilt over using his rival, the warrior Zoreth, to get his mate safely off Earth. Zoreth is a warrior with a hole in his heart that he refuses to acknowledge or dwell upon, one that has been there since the death of his twin. Finding a compatible mate was an impossible dream made reality when he arrived on Earth. Her attachment to the damaged Talech is an inconvenience but one he intends to triumph over until crashing on a world filled with zombies brings them all closer as a unit and a family in ways he never expected. Beverly thought she finally had her one-way ticket into space, but she is forced to survivor in a dangerous situation again. This time, however, she must rely on two males who both want to claim her while trying desperately not be eaten by a zombie or foolishly lose her heart to both Argurmas.
