SynGen needs Breeders, females drafted into two years of human egg production for the benefit of rich, but infertile, inner worlds. Lani Nichols knows Breeders never come back, those promise of riches upon the completion of service aren't real. Unfortunately, faking her own death, disguising herself as a male, and getting off world is harder than it looks. When Lani signs on as an engineer to a scavenger vessel she hopes most of her worries are over. All she has to do is hide from SynGen's bounty hunters until the two years are complete and she will be free. Instead, she is plunged head first into the treacherous life of space pirates. Faced with betrayal, love and loss, Lani will do anything to survive.
