The Manhunter

by Ellen Anthony

Imagine being able to claim any man for three days just to have a child. He could be an Einstein, a Schwartzenegger, or the guy next door. What woman hasn't had that fantasy?

Yet what happens if the man you choose loves you? Can you walk away with just the child? Can he?

Synda of Datyl wants to do a Manhunt and Davyd Yorkson is hired to escort her. When they are separated from their ship, Davyd finds he must protect his charge from bees, wild pigs, raiders, and even himself.

His greatest challenge comes when Synda chooses him for the Manhunt and he must accept — or lose her forever.
