Jenner Garu is a duke of the planet Eab Nanoorn. Spoiled by one father, taught to be dangerous by the other, he is a blending of soft and toughness. When he returns from a 'runner' to the Out Systems, his fathers are delighted, but when they find out he's got outlander Grey with him, they worry. Especially when Jenner admits that he's not only responsible for Grey's condition, but that he's in love with the man as well. Family friend and rock musician Lysander becomes Grey's healing witness and falls for the outlander himself, which complicates things a lot. Complicated is Jenner's way of life, though, so he begins a mating dance that will have far reaching consequences. Will Grey find the healing he needs on Eab Nanoorn? Will Jenner, Grey and Lysander find happiness or will the strange love-triangle they create? Find out in Volume one of The Guide to Survival.
