What if your only chance at survival was to seduce the man who broke your heart? Seventeen years after the Apocalypse, Admiral - class Explorer Tabysha is caught up in a firefight and shot down over Tyver, where ice vampires hunt human warmth. Seeking shelter in an ice cave, she is instructed to stay put and await rescue. But after another ship crash - lands, and the Hunter Gatherers stalk its wounded pilot, Tabi breaks protocol. When it turns out the survivor is the man who stole her heart then skipped out on her ten years before, it seems to Tabi that no good deed goes unpunished, and things can't get any worse. But she's so wrong. As the Hunters pick up the escalating heat signature of the former lovers, Tabi has to tell Asha that there is only one way to repel the creatures stalking them. And it involves picking up where they left off ten years before.
