He is a monster who discovers he had a heart; she is a woman who wants to remain unknown …

Jarmen D’ju has no memories of his previous life. They were stolen in the lab that changed him into a monster. Though he was rescued, he knows he will never truly have the life he wants. As a being of half organic material and half cybernetic engineering, he will always need to hide, and finding a partner is not an option, for who could ever love a monster?

Jane Doe awakes aboard an alien spaceship with haunting memories of her former life—a life filled with tragedy that almost killed her. Rescued and protected by her new circus family, she knows she has been given a second chance at life, but where she came from, chances are fleeting and happiness is nothing more than an illusion. She thinks it will be the same here until she meets an alien who is more machine than he is man.

In the most unlikely of places, Jarmen discovers he has a heart and Jane finds the only man in the galaxy who can take her nightmares away. A single moment in time changes their lives forever and forces Jarmen to make a decision that could change the history of the universe. With the help of some unusual friends, can Jarmen defy time? Or will a cheated death refuse to be denied?
