Axel Rex was one among thousands of cyborgs produce for the interstellar war with the Mesaarkans who remained in stasis throughout the war.He is in charge of demolishing several square kilometers of ruins in Farringay to make way for a new interstellar starport. During his virtual life in stasis,he was educated and trained for war. He was also prepared for love in case he found the one genetically compatible female with whom he could breed and make offspring. The chance for a family of his own and freedom at the end of service was their motivation to serve. It’s not something Axel is counting on. He is too busy supervising 500 cyborgs at the demolition site to daydream about finding love. Then one stubborn female refuses to leave a building set for demolition. Layna Rose lived with her cat Sammy in the ruins of Farringay and had claimed a ruined apartment building as home. No cyborg goon is going to make her give up her home until Axel pulls her out kicking and screaming. She pleads with him to let her go back for her cat. Layna takes the opportunity to grab her cat and run. Axel intercepts her quickly and suspecting she is his genetic match. He convinces her to go back to the barracks with him for food, shelter and new clothing. While they are eating he tells her she is his match. She thinks he just wants her for sex and she doesn’t quite believe he wants her to be his mate for life. But the food is good, and it’s nice to be clean and have new clothing. Layna can’t deny the primal sexual attraction she feels for Axel. She is not even sure she likes him, but she knows she won’t get a better offer. Bedding Axel is no hardship, but Layna doesn’t delude herself they are in love. Could she love a cyborg? Could she love this cyborg? Sexually explicit for adults. Guaranteed HEA.
