Gossamer Chains
Omtale
An agricultural planet plagued by gangs puts a small community of humans in a difficult position. Desperate for help, Rain talks the other humans into advertising for a hired gun, hoping to get someone who at least looks mean. What she doesn't expect is a Talin named Hesarium with mysterious motives, an over-the-top protective attitude, and a purr she can't seem to resist.
Rain is a Human in need of help.
Rain and the thirty other humans living on Omanal are in trouble. Well, not just them, almost everyone living on Omanal's only arable land is suffering. Several gangs have developed over the last few years, and now they're competing for territory. The Massoc, the species that owns the planet, can't be bothered to deal with the rapidly escalating brutality. If the farmers of Omanal stop producing, the Massoc will simply sell the planet off to a company or species that might not let Rain and her people stay there.
This means the homesteaders of Omanal are caught between a rock and a hard place. They need to remain productive or lose the land their families have been working for the last hundred years. But being productive is hard when they're forced to contend with constant stealing and the potential for violence from the gangs around every turn.
Desperate for help, Rain posts an advertisement on all the closest space stations. The offer is simple: protect the humans and their land in exchange for all the food you can eat and a home of your own. She hopes to entice retired military personnel or mercenaries who want a safe place to settle.
What she gets is a massive warrior in his prime, from a species she's never seen before. And not a moment too soon because the competition between the gangs has turned into an all-out war. As an individual, she's not sure how much he'll be able to do, but she's hopeful and welcomes him into her home for however long he agrees to stay.
It doesn't hurt that he purrs and turns out to be the cuddliest individual she's ever met!
She won't blame him when the violence becomes too much and he leaves, but she's determined to enjoy him while he's there.
Hesarium is a Talin in search of a human of his own.
Along with a fellow Talin and one human, Hesarium is on a mission to find humans and bring them back to Talarian. While they're stopped at Ki-Jol station, he finds a request for aid on a notice board. Something about it convinces Hesarium it was written by a human. His companions leave him behind to investigate.
He finds a planet dangerously close to the type of war that will destroy everything. As much as he wants to sweep up all these humans and save them, it's not so simple. For them to find a new home among the Talins, they'd need to wear collars and be declared pets. They'd be cherished and never need to suffer insecurity or work another day in their life, but in exchange, they have to willingly give up their freedom.
It quickly becomes apparent that the key to persuading the humans is convincing a female named Rain to agree. As an added bonus she's the one he's living with and by far the most beautiful human he's met.
He's determined to compel the humans to leave with him before the gang wars raging around them take any more victims, especially his Rain.
