Janet is so in love with a man that she is blindsided when he wanted to marry her. Problem? He already has a wife and child. She would be his spare wife. The idea was so abhorrent that Janet submits an application to the Mate Order Program, MOP. She's heading to Soren Prime to find a handsome male to begin her life anew. Unfortunately, things don't go as she'd planned.Lar'tch is a scarred male and hoped one day to find his true mate. When he meets her, it doesn't go as he planned and his life spiraled into a painful series of battles and fights in the gladiator arena.Earth has been under the stewardship of the Caledon Galactic-Interstellar Federation of Planets, CGIFP, for forty years. The ratio of women to men is twenty to one. The CGIFP placed a moratorium on births to diminish Earth's overpopulation, limiting one child per household. Men are authorized to have multiple wives if they can afford them, but only one child. Women who want a family, a child must stand in line. Soren Prime offers a mail order mate program. The catch, you can't come back to Earth and you can't leave the facility once you are there until a mate has been found for you. You have no choice in which mate is matched to you.
