[Lost Planet 05] • The Lonely Orphan · the Lost Planet Series, Book Five

Our planet has hope.

Still decaying and barely inhabitable, but ours.

With the arrival of the females, we’re no longer lonely.

Well, some of us aren’t.

For the rest, we ache for what they have.

Peace. Happiness. Love.

But where the other unmatched Morts want a mate to call their own, I’m different.

Life cruelly made me fall for the one person I’m not allowed to have.

Bitterness and jealousy are my mates now.

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I will always be alone.

Until my commander sends me on a mission to rescue someone very important to his mate—her sister.

A woman so different. So imperfect. So maddeningly defiant. Someone I have no interest in whatsoever.

This feral female will never own my heart.

Or so I thought.

Love always has a plan of its own.
