In the future, we don’t choose our mates. Nature chooses for us. Nature doesn’t make mistakes. And if you don’t pay attention to Nature’s Imperative, you suffer.
You wake up one morning, and the world as you know it has changed. You look into blue eyes and see forever. You glance at the woman across the office, and dislike shifts to unfathomable need. A life that seemed unbearably lonely suddenly holds infinite promise.
Come into the garden. The Imperative is calling you.
This collection contains the previously released novellas Missing You, Always You, and Saving You.

★★★☆☆½ I've had this collection of novellas from long-gone Fictionwise forever and finally read it today. Two of the novellas are mmf [Missing You & Saving You] and one is mf [Always You].
The theme of the stories is that in the future, if you are lucky enough, your mate is picked for you through the Biological Imperative. Sexual orientation doesn't figure in, you may be paired via same-sex, mf, or even rarer, a menage configuration, even if you'd never played that way before. My favorite of the collection was Saving You - damaged hero who gets a second chance.
