During an interplanetary war, a deaf, telepathic, Ianni woman must escape her abusive Terran husband, who is controlled by enemy forces. With her young twin daughters and younger sister, who interprets for her, the future matriarch must flee to her older sister and brother-in-law's ship, only to be kidnapped by a powerful being. The god-like being stows her away on an ally ship in deep space, without family and little means to communicate until the war ends. In one night, before her divorce is final, she becomes eternally bonded to the great love of her life. She is returned to her home planet, pregnant by another man, only for her family to encounter a shapeshifting assassin controlling her soon to be ex-husband, resulting in death and destruction. Who dies? Who survives? Does the monster snatch the life from Rhianna's unborn baby or does her pregnancy continue and she cheats death? Is this the beginning or the end of a romantic journey? Does she find the love of her life who ignites flames of passion or is love lost forever? Does she rebuild or does everything crumble?

Based in space, on Earth, and Ianna, where love is sacred.
