On the run from the mob - into the arms of an alien space pirate. With alien mobsters hot on her trail, Marcie Cole needs a way off Earth fast. When the Celestial Mates Agency matches her with an alien on the far side of the galaxy, she jumps at the chance to get offworld. Her match may be a sexy alien, but she doesn't expect to like him. And she definitely didn't expect him to board her ship as the captain of a lethal crew of space pirates. Pirate Captain Arrax is huge, deadly, and hot as hell. But can she trust a pirate to keep her safe, or should she hide the truth about herself? As soon as Arrax sees the delicious Earthwoman, he knows he can't resist her—and a pirate captain takes he wants without a second thought. Facing a mutiny from his pirate crew and the deadly aliens chasing Marcie, he has to fight to keep what's his. Will Arrax be able to keep Marcie safe by his side, or will the battle for his mate doom them both?
