My Strange Destiny

I'm Karina - a headstrong scientist/feminist who lives in the heart of America, the Great Plains. My life is average... oh, except for the part where I'm mated to a surly, seven-foot-tall alien who wants nothing to do with me. Needless to say, I'm not very thrilled with the situation either, considering that it's up to us to save his dying race. My destiny in life turned out to be strange...
