Jill and the Genestalk

Jill has been traded to a consortium that wants to use her empathy for business. She wants nothing to do with their plans and runs away on her wedding day.

A shuttle chase, a crash and a surprisingly soft landing begin a new phase of Jill's life in which she offers her body to a race of giants for room and board.

T'los is the man who pulled her out of her wrecked shuttle, and he is with her every step of the way until his people no longer need her. The moment she is free of demands, he makes her an offer and she falls for his charm. Caught in his arms, it is quite the distance to fall.
