Becoming an alien biologist was a risk. Everyone knows there's only one way to get your hands on a sian male, and that's to give yourself up in exchange. My sister is proof that doing just that can be bliss, but I'm not about to sign away my future. So when I get the once in a lifetime opportunity to spend a month on the planet, studying sian men, and maybe even the monsters my sister told me about, I'm not going to let go of it for anything.

It's basically a babysitting job. A human woman shows up, I keep her from getting eaten by a monster or accosted by someone not-in-the-know.
Easy.
I didn't expect her to be interested in my work. or so damned interesting herself. It's only a month. I can keep my hands to myself for a month... right?
