When a renegade thief and a genetically enhanced mercenary collide, space gets a whole lot hotter! Thief Kara Shimsi has learned three lessons well—keep her head down, her fingers light, and her tithes to the syndicate paid on time. But now a failed heist has earned her a death sentence—a one-way ticket to the toxic Waste outside the dome. Her only chance is a deal with the syndicate's most ruthless enforcer, a wolfish mountain of genetically-modified muscle named Davien. The thought makes her body tingle with dread—or is it heat? Mercenary Davien will do whatever it takes to get back into space. The last thing he wants is a smart-mouthed thief—even if her scent drives him wild—and she may have the clue he needs to hunt down whoever destroyed his home. Caring is a liability. Desire is a commodity. And love could get you killed. Given is the first science fiction romance novel in The Star Breed series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!
