Cecily Griggs doesn't know what she'll do on the alien ship after she and her friends were sold by their old captain. When an old friend sends a distress signal from a planet of slave-traders, Griggs knows what has to happen -- she'll get Heidi back, or die trying. She's ready for a solo mission when the watchful, smoking hot Vrix insists on going with her. Griggs doesn't need the distraction of his silver eyes or rocky voice, but his muscles will definitely come in handy...
Vrix wants nothing more than to claim Griggs as his own. She's fierce and independent and so sensual she makes his scales rattle with just a look. A short rescue mission is the perfect opportunity to seduce her -- especially when Griggs has to masquerade as his slave so they can access the darkest secrets on the wild planet. But when someone kidnaps her and Griggs disappears into the underground, Vrix will do anything to get her back.
When old enemies ambush her and try to settle the score for attacking the Alliance, Griggs fights to save her friend and herself. Can she trust Vrix to help them escape, or will she spend the rest of her life fighting alone?
