I obtained this ARC in return for an honest review and fell in love with the seven foot warrior! Cygus is a Marauder and had watched enough of earth's television to speek and understand the language. His whole fleet, men and women was headed to seek out their mates and all he can think about his finding his woman, but then his brother tricked him and left him on the ship with the others. His brother had a head start in landing on the red planet while he was stuck in a smaller pod going slowly, the hen saw her and all of his purple body started to zing to his attention as he had found his mate!!

Aura is a scrapper searching for scrap metal to sell in deep outer space, but so far she's only found enough to keep her in some food repairs, and gas to her ship. In the distance her computer spotted an idle huge pod that would gain her extra funds if only she could get it before the pirates. ( )
