On Earth, 12 female college students board a starship for 'A Year of Interstellar Education'. Crashing on a primitive planet inhabited by barbarian aliens was not on their itinerary… I did not want the Terran female as my mate. Now I cannot imagine life without her! Jill-ee-un has the heart of a warrior and is as stubborn as a wild beast. She says she does not belong to me, that she does not want to be my mate. What she does not know is that she already is! For my heart to know true happiness, I must convince her that we belong together, that she is my forevermore bond. But first I must save her from the maw of a deadly trappol tree!
