Terran Times Can Silari accept the position of planetary Avatar and welcome a stranger into her body and mind? Recovering from damage done by a psycho, Silari, Agent of the Alliance , has been waiting for a new assignment. When that assignment turns out to be one of two dozen women in line for a shot at becoming the bride of an Avatar, she is slightly disappointed. What man would want a woman damaged in body and mind? Maksuan has shied away from women who used their wiles to get his attention, but the shy Terran shines in every room she enters. He tries to get closer to her and when he finds out why she is dodging him, he takes action and removes clothing.
