Having spent the last twenty-five years devoted to science, elite bio-researcher Anna is now faced with her mandatory mating on the un-breathable planet of Profortuna. Anna’s research on how to sustain life in the bio-domes is vital, but it also makes her a target of the Open Air Society. Convinced the Council has found the most appropriately brain-heavy men on the planet for her mates in order to perpetuate their superior intellectual genes, Anna is shocked to find three high-ranking military men waiting for her in the reception room. Just as Anna’s sexuality is awakened by a kiss from one of her mates, terrorists from the Open Air Society attack her lab, and the three Generals act quickly to protect her. As they shuttle her to the other side of the planet, Anna comes to know her mates intimately as three men of distinction. But can they fulfill her secret wish to find old-fashioned romantic love?

Due to Bella's exceptional intellectual capabilities in mathematics, the Council of Profortuna matched her with the three highest scoring IQs in her Quadrant to perpetuate her genes. The men were incredibly smart and equally dull. Bella had datapad apps that gave her more pleasure. In five years, she hadn't developed anything more than a general fondness for the men she privately referred to as Dweeb One, Two and Three. When the Open Air Society attacks the scientific center of First Quadrant, killing Bella’s mates, three members of Fourth Quadrant’s special security forces take Bella into protective custody. As her bodyguards work a rotating schedule, she explores her physical attraction to each of them. Defying the Council’s ban against unauthorized relationships isn’t Bella’s only act of disobedience. When she learns the motives behind the Open Air Society’s rebellion, she resolves to join the freedom movement, with or without her three bodyguards.

As the conflict escalates between the Open Air Society and Profortuna’s Council, newly-promoted Corporal Crystal and her former Military Academy classmate, Corporal Fisher, are assigned undercover work together, just as their eight years of sexual tension combusts. On kitchen duty in the First Quadrant, Crystal and Fisher interact with the intelligentsia, making contact with members of the Open Air Society and gathering intel for the Council. Crystal uses the opportunity to rekindle her relationship with two members of the intelligentsia, Henri and Stepho, leaving Fisher alone to fume over her preference for the scientists she met when they were refugees in Fourth Quadrant after the initial terrorist attacks. When Crystal learns the scientists are working for the Pro-Freedom Movement, she begins to question which side is the right side. Would life on Profortuna be better without the Council controlling every aspect of people’s lives? If civilians were free to make their own decisions, could she ever get Fisher, Henri, and Stepho to agree to be her three chosen mates?
