Once I read about an ancient society where every woman who was going to be
married had to sit by the side of the road the night before her marriage and
give herself to the first man who came along. Strange rite, benefiting a temple.
But that's how THE STAR
NECKLACE was born. It has been just released by Red Sage.
The warrior Ronan travels to the far reaches of the galaxy to search for his
missing brother. He cannot stay on a planet where all outsiders are killed. But
when he crosses paths with the healer, Lata, who is sacrificing her virginity in
a sacred rite to help her countrywomen, he cannot leave her to her unkind fate.
With passion and love simmering between them, Lata is faced with an agonizing
choice when Ronan is mortally wounded by her countrymen. Must she fulfill the
promise made when she was chosen to wear the Star Necklace – a promise to help
her countrywomen? Or can she find a way to take Ronan off-planet to save his life?

I'm not sure I would like to sit on the side of road waiting for whoever but if he was good looking, may be.
