Crash-landing on an alien planet full of shape-shifting snakes is probably less than ideal, but that’s where Marty Yoon ends up when a solo flight to Barnard’s Star goes wrong. Lucky for him, his rescuers, Jasper and Orrin, seem less interested in making him their next meal—and more intent on making him their mate! Even though he's initially hesitant, Marty finds himself charmed by the naga—and longing for the family they’ve promised him.
