SummaryWith the fate of the galaxy at risk, love may not be
enough...
In the lawless fringes of deep space, pirate Tia Sen has a
rep for being hard as plascrete, tough as Amalan leather,
and as strong as she is beautiful. She also has a secret
that courts death: For years she has been freeing enslaved
children. Stepping in to rescue a valiant mechanic from a
near-fatal beating risks more than her life. Thanks to her
traitorous heart, her web of lies is in danger of unraveling.
Undercover operative Rork Al'Ren is no stranger to lies.
Emotionally scarred by the murders of his wife and unborn
child, he wants nothing more than to eradicate every bit of
pirate scum in the galaxy. Then his mission goes sour, and
he finds himself Tia's personal slave—and falling in
love with the very pirate he's sworn to destroy.
Yet love is a luxury he can't afford. Tia possesses a
powerful new weapon that could overwhelm the Union of
Planets and plunge the galaxy into war.
If Rork can't convince her to surrender it, he may have to
break her trust—and her heart.
