I’ve made a deal with the devil to survive … To survive on a hellish prison planet I’m doing favors for the most dangerous gang around. My fellow prisoners hate me for the special treatment I’m given, and I’m balanced on a knife’s edge since the Sives could turn against me at any moment … or demand more than I can give. And when a new convict joins the gang, I know I’m in trouble. How can my body yearn for one of them when I’ve seen the terrors they’re capable of? Surge is as dangerous as they come, a born killer riding the edge. But when he’s with me, there’s more to him than the monster he’s pretending to be. I can’t stay away from him, but the more time we spend together, the more danger we’re both in. And when I find out why Surge is really on Karcerikus, I’ll need to risk it all to help him solve the terrible mystery gripping the prison planet. But as trouble lurks in every shadow, will Surge give into his nature … or will he give into the desire between us and claim me as his mate?
