A'ani clone Aithar has had his heart broken a dozen times on Risda III. No one wants the love he is so very eager to give. But then he meets a human woman named Michaela who runs a dairy farm. She wants to rescue her sister, and to do so, she needs Aithar’s help. He’s willing to help…in exchange for a date. Michaela warns him that she’s just using him. He’s fine with being used, as long as it involves kissing. Lots and lots of kissing. She’s determined not to fall in love. He’s just happy to be of service. No commitments…right? Right. (I think we all know how this story goes…)
