Bk. 5. Pzian Warrior Phataz has a chip on his shoulder towards human females. He sees them as weak and has no desire to life-mate one, as his brothers had done. In fact, he would prefer if the ship were rid of the human females.

Bryony Johnson is a chemist and botanist working in the Amazon Rainforest. Her sleazy partner has blackmailed her into this trip and intends on cashing in on her finds, preferably after the jungle has claimed her life. Unknown to her, lurking in the jungle is not only two Pzian warriors but also a jaguar about to make a meal out of her as she sleeps.

Phataz and Traven travel to the rainforest to gather samples and one of the two scientists as an honored guest. Phataz chooses Bryony after hearing Cameron talk about the wealth awaiting them. Will Bryony come out from under the blanket she has encased herself in on the ship and give the handsome alien a chance. Will he even want her? She is a worthless human after all.
