The distant future. Lydia, a pastry chef working on an elite space station, is looking forward to a scorching sexual encounter with Ricardo, the hot shuttle pilot she'd been lusting after for months. But the appearance of a mysterious asteroid changes everything.
When the research group sent to study it loses contact with the station, Ricardo flies a rescue team to the asteroid. Hours later, he returns—as the lone survivor.
With the tragedy seemingly behind them, Lydia and Ricardo meet for a date despite regulations forbidding all contact. In a dark room, she discovers he’s more than the man he used to be. Dare she surrender to his raw, otherworldly passion?
