Jonathan has chosen Melody and prays his Bonding instinct is not mistaken. His whole world is depending on him, as the last prince among his dying people. He wants her to be his Bonded mate and has been sent in the hope that creating a Bond with an Earth female and then monitoring her closely during fetal gestation will save their world. Their planet has been ravaged with a virus rendering their women infertile. Their hope is that their fine Prince, with his superior royal DNA can create a conception and via careful monitoring prevent the baby and the mother's death. If it works - they have hope. If not . . . .
