Gianna Romano, the African Italian American high fashion icon, is renowned for her extravagant behavior and vibrant lifestyle choices. However, the truth behind her persona is far more complex. Gianna is a woman without a clear racial identity, plagued by a dysfunctional family and the tragic experience of rape. Her father's belief that a woman's worth is inherently inferior to a man's permeates her existence.

In a cruel twist of fate, Gianna is abducted by alien slavers and sold to the highest bidder. To her astonishment, she is "rescued" by an alien version of her controlling father, further perpetuating the cycle of abuse. Misinterpreting her genuine emotions as fear, Gianna instinctively runs away. However, to the species of her rescuer, running is considered the ultimate offense.

Zaan of House Marni, a Tarrassian known as "perfect," embodies a contrasting perspective. He is the cherished son of an Elder, the sole heir to the influential House Marni, and the youngest High Commander ever. Zaan adheres to strict rules and expects everyone to follow them. However, unlike his elitist peers, he values all individuals, recognizing their inherent worth. Despite his species' dominance in the universe, the Tarrassians are facing a gradual extinction.

The arrival of humans on the scene brings about a seismic shift. The Sign, an ancient mating mark, reveals that Zaan's human belongs to him—a revelation he already knows, but for entirely different reasons. He prefers to keep this secret to himself, considering Gianna's outrageous behavior.

Together, Gianna and Zaan embark on a tumultuous journey that blurs the lines between love and hate, courage and fear. Their relationship transforms into an epic love story that has the potential to rewrite the course of human history. Through their experiences, they come to understand the delicate balance between these opposing forces and the profound impact they can have on the world.
