Falsely convicted. Exiled. Claimed by an alien barbarian.
After she’s falsely convicted of murder, Starr Elizabeth Conner is packed on a spaceship with other female felons and exiled to Dakon, a faraway frozen planet. To make a bad situation worse, she’s supposed to become an alien’s "mail-order bride." By the luck of the draw, she’s matched to Torg, the super tall, handsome tribe chief. She doesn’t look like the other females who are dark, beautiful, and exotic, and she can tell her new mate is disappointed to receive a pale, curvy blonde. Females are in short supply on Torg’s planet. But with the latest shipment from Earth, he’s hopeful he’ll receive a sturdy mate who can bear him many daughters. He does get a mate, but the pale-haired, tiny Starr looks at him with anger and fear in her eyes. Just as Starr warms to Torg, and he starts to believe things may work out between them, rumors swirl that she is guilty of a crime. The penalty for breaking the law is banishment to the wilderness. As tribe chief, Torg must enforce Dakonian law. Will he forced to send his mate away?
