Welcome to the ‘meat market.’ It’s the bridal fair from hell. Officially known as the Outer World Citizens’ Spousal Bazaar and Expo, it’s the place where a woman can leave her past behind and start a new life-with a new mate of course.

Tamsyn Laehn is desperate. She’s stuck in a lousy job and miserable life. When Tamsyn accompanies her best friend to the meat market, she falls into a bridal booth manned by Boarf and Brunz, two Neanderthal type warriors from the planet Zuntx

Tamsyn has no choice but to leave with the men. Upon arriving on Zuntx they learn that the military has been disbanded. Homeless and decommissioned, the men agree to become colonists on the planet Drabik.

When the homesteading pioneers land on Drabik, they struggle to adapt to the harsh conditions they encounter on the inhospitable planet. The men’s traditional Zuntx views of women provide an extra test for all three as they learn to trust and love each other.
