Her time commands a high price and she has covered her tracks well for the past ten years. But what was supposed to be a routine meeting with a new client turns deadly and sends her running from a killer. Rone Tazo is a Thonaxian warrior, who has been a bounty hunter on Arrann Prime for five years. A simple job is assigned to him, one that will make him enough money to finally go home. All he has to do is pick up Cheria and take her to the bounty holder in another city. It seems simple enough, until she gets away from him and leads him on a chase across the city. With both a killer and a bounty hunter after her, Cheria needs to choose the lessor of two evils. So when Rone finally captures her, she goes quietly with him in the hopes that he will keep her safe from a killer. But what neither of them count on is the desire that flares to life between them. It offers both of them hope that perhaps love might be in their future if they manage to survive the present. less
