To end the war between their kingdoms, Darkrock and Strongsea are ordered to marry and select a female mate to be shared between them. Bitter enemies, the men rebel against the notion of being bound for life, but despite their opposing personalities, they can’t control their passion for each other. When Radiance, a merchant from Earth, crashes on the planet Shandra, she is taken into slavery and bought as a gift for Darkrock and Strongsea. Both desire the exotic human slave, but Strongsea’s compassionate nature drives him to protect her against Darkrock’s lust. Soon Radiance and Strongsea realize there’s more to Darkrock than his harsh veneer, but only together can they draw out his inner man.

When Finesse, a private detective from Earth, is hired for a dangerous job on the planet Shandra, she can’t resist the challenge. She’s tired of passive Earth men and the aggression of Shand males is known throughout the galaxy and beyond. Finesse has spent her life fantasizing of a man who can dominate her, but she never dreamed of finding two. Security Chief Blackstare and his aide, Rocksurf, have been lovers since their training days. Still Rocksurf hasn’t been able to tempt the scarred, brooding warrior into a traditional Shand marriage—two men, one woman. Little did they imagine it would take a willful Earth woman to change their lives forever.

On a diplomatic mission to the planet Shandra, ambassador Passion is abducted by thieves. She is rescued by two rugged warriors, Timber and Red, who claim that she owes them a sacred debt for saving her life. If she refuses to mate with them, the Shand will consider it an insult to their people. In spite of her anger about a forced marriage, Red and Timber are sexy enough to make Passion live up to her name. Sacrificing herself for her planet might not be as bad as she thought.
