Separated from her husband by his military service and thinking him dead, Cherry moves to Mars, and with EarthGov's backing, starts a bordello.
Many of the ex military cyborgs that terraformed Mars have found wives among the settlers, including the Judge, so Wyatt, another cyborg, is called down from the power plants at the pole to become the new Judge. When he comes to introduce himself to Cherry, she recognises him as her supposedly dead husband, but he does not remember her. She tries to jog his memory, but each sliver of memory gained causes Wyatt great pain, and GenCon is up to more evil doings that cause trouble, in the kidnappings, attempted murders, and attempted takeover of the whole planet, Wyatt regains his memories, and f everyone learn s of the atrocities earth gov and it's military are committing on Earth, and decide its time to be self governing, no Earth, and no GenCon. It's work, especially for the cyborg police force and Judges, but there is a final happy ending in this super second chance romance.
