     In a hidden underground shelter beneath her clinic, Dr. Mercy Wallace is waiting out the end of the world. The year is 2070, and after an ill-advised attack on the inhabited, technologically advanced planet of Toria, Earth is facing an all-out invasion. As the war unfolds on both worlds, Mercy struggles to survive and keep morale as she finishes up her second week in complete isolation. Worried that she may be the last surviving human in her area—or the world—she is shocked one night when she discovers a wounded man has broken into her clinic upstairs and collapsed. She rushes to his aid—only to discover that she has saved the life of a Torian warrior. Zarun saw his planet's capitol reduced to rubble in the humans' initial attack, and entered the war to end the threat to his world. But he soon found himself embroiled, not in a standing war with trained soldiers, but in the occupation and destruction of a town filled with innocent civilians. When he resisted the order to kill, his vicious squad commander put him on potentially deadly scouting detail as punishment. Badly injured by an improvised bomb, he was left for dead by his squad—and crawled his way to shelter, acting on pure instinct. Now, tended to by a traumatized but kind human healer, he awakens in her shelter—and quickly realizes that he has imprinted on her as his lifelong mate. What should be a genetic impossibility becomes hope for a new future for both races as Mercy and Zarun struggle to survive together and support each other. As trust barriers fall between them, they become lovers, solidifying their bond and pledging to each other. But when Zarun's old squad discovers their shelter and threatens Mercy's life, the alien warrior must chose between loyalty to his own people, and love for the mate who saved his life when his own left him for dead.
