Since joining the crew of The Vorge, Tryleskian male Crath Vellar wants what his family has-a human life-lock. His littermates and cousin are very happy with the Earth females they've rescued and claimed, and after a lifetime alone, Crath wants someone to call his own. He'll just have to make sure she survives long enough to give him a chance to win her heart. Not an easy task, when other alien males also want his Kelsey.
