A noble by birth.
A criminal by choice.
Captain of the pirate vessel, The Reaver, Bruwes was hungry for money not a mate when he took the job.
It’s supposed to be easy.
Find and capture the unrepentant tomb robber, Lissa of Earth, and collect the bounty on her life.
He never planned to hold her, never wanted to feel the unexpected desire that struck him the moment he got her beneath him.
Her scent is in his nose now, and her softness is impossible to resist.
Criminals like him have no business taking bondmates. He can’t keep her, but he’s not about to give her up.
She wanted only to be accepted.
Now she’s running for her life.
Archeologist Lissa Blackwood had no idea what she’d find when she entered that forgotten tomb, but a long-abandoned weapon capable of destroying worlds wasn’t it.
Now she’s being hunted.
Corporate will kill her to gain the weapon for themselves, and if she can’t outrun their bounty hunters, then every home world that ever dared stand up to them is doomed.
She can’t afford to be captured, she especially can’t afford to fall in love with the massive male who’s determined to collect on her bounty.
She’s got every reason not to trust him.
Resisting him, on the other hand… how can she when every
look, every touch, every forbidden kiss he steals leaves her aching to give in?
