My husband lies unresponsive, his soul shattered after he detonated our defense grid to save me. I’m the only scientist alive who can thread the clandestine portals and collect his fragments—universe by universe.
Jump #2 drops me into a system where Earth never existed and survival means fusing bone to steel. Cyborg warlords barter everything—parts, people, pleasure—and I’m traded to a six-man crew hungry for more than spare metal. One of them might house Sharp’s missing shard. The only test? Take them to bed and feel whether our bond sparks behind their mechanized hearts.
Fail, and Sharp’s eyes stay closed while I stay caged. Succeed, and I’ll learn if one resurrected husband can satisfy the wildfire I’ve tasted.
Dark, explicit sci-fi romance. MMF+ why-choose dynamics, cyborg kink, mature triggers, HFN ending—see author’s note.
