Cadar, a planet in the future

Kandos Strabuquar is beside himself with grief. He didn’t arrive soon enough to save his childhood friend Rina Daniels from being captured by the Zacoris, who then injected her with a drug that causes constant sexual arousal. She is doomed to be banned for the rest of her life isolated from civilization, since there is no known antidote for her ailment. Rina has loved Kandos for years but he thinks of her as only his best friends’ sister. With her condition dooming her to a life without her family--or Kandos--Rina requests that he provide her some temporary relief before she must go away. He must make love to her during her last night of freedom. But will one night be enough for both of them?

CADARI LOVER opens with intense emotions running high as Kandos blames himself for what happened to Rina. Her brothers looked to Kandos to protect their sister and he failed. Unbeknownst to each other, Rina and Kandos always secretly lusted after the other, but the constraint of friendship (and her brothers) has kept them from acting upon those feelings. However, before the disease overtakes her and she must leave, Rina asks Kandos to spend the night with her to help work off her heightening sexual needs. He’s only too glad to oblige. Even as they have sex, Kandos is thinking of ways to save Rina. Perhaps save her for himself and a future together? What’s in store for Rina with a life that revolves around a need to always seek sexual pleasure?

A sensual tale full of emotion and urgency as a sense of doom hangs over Rina and Kandos. Will love prevail? Find out in CADARI LOVER.
