Miners of Djaromir

A woman on a mission...Petal Jane, PJ to her family, is on the way to rescue her big sister-whether she wants her to or not. Or at least that was the plan her parents had come up with. "Don't worry," they assured her. It was supposed to be foolproof.
First, sign up for the Djaromir volunteer program. Check. Second, catch a Phaeton spaceship to the distant planet where her sister had disappeared to. Check. Last, grab her sister and get the hell back to Earth before one of the big guys think she's there to get mated, sexed up, and pregnant like all the other fools she'd arrived with... And that's where she runs into a snag. He's more than a little rough around the edges... Shuddre doesn't talk much-if at all. His penchant for silence, combined with his mountainous size, makes others uncomfortable. Taller and wider than all of his brethren, his bulk is both a blessing and a curse. His massive size and abilities are valuable assets to Gunninng, yet when he's within the tunnels of the city, he feels suffocated. It's one of the reasons why he's determined to answer his warlord's summons, find out what Gunninng needs, and then get the hell back to the mines as quickly as possible. He never thought there'd be anything to keep him here... Until he saw her.
