They are the Guardians, sixteen special men and women with incredible powers who have sworn their lives to the protection of their galaxy, while upholding the laws of their world.
It was a world that, eons ago, had suffered a
devastating plague that had rendered more than half its
population unable to reproduce. As a result, in order to assure
the survival of their species, the HandFast law was enacted.
Every month, twenty couples were drawn by lottery. Couples whose
sole purpose would then be procreation, the continuation of the
species. For the length of one year, two complete strangers
would follow the edicts of the HandFast, until the woman
conceived. Once that was accomplished, the couple was no longer
bound to each other, and they could go their separate ways while
the child was given to a couple unable to bear children.
It was a cold and impersonal law, but it worked.
However, the Guardians were exempt from having their names drawn
in the lottery. The very nature of their jobs, risking their
lives day in and day out to protect their galaxy, precluded any
thought of bearing children.
Which was why, when StarLight and Master Hunter heard their
names called out to be HandFasted, their neat, orderly lives
were turned upside-down. Gone was the comfortable
companionship they'd known. Gone was the brother-sister working
relationship and the friendship.
Now they would be forced into an intimacy neither had wanted,
nor expected.
Neither would they be prepared for the overwhelming passion they
would find in each other's bodies, as well as in their hearts.
And things would only get more complicated and dangerous. Because their names had been deliberately placed on the lottery, and the drawing had not been a fluke. Instead, it was the first step in destroying their world and every Guardian living.
