Twenty-two-year-old Alice Andrews is eager to graduate from college and head into the real world. After leaving a party, she is suddenly engulfed in a bright light. Hours later, she finds herself strapped to a bed, being inspected by strange-looking creatures. She soon finds out she is on a planet called Krotev which houses an all-male alien population. The Krotev aliens apparently kidnap human women with the goal of mating and breeding. The unlucky Alice is assigned to an alien named Kyvan as his mate, and she is determined to never end up in his bed. However, she soon finds herself intrigued by his gentleness and his vow to protect her from harm. After all, no one can escape being an alien's mate.
