Sex slave auction hall, Veenori.... Kidnapped, humiliated and scared, Kiley plans to beg the mercenary who'd just bought her to take her home. Promising money beyond his wildest dreams, she haggles for her freedom. Unfortunately, her new master isn't interested in money. He has enough of his own. Instead, he plans to use her body as reimbursement. With bondage and dominance, Lucien and his first officer Syeer hope to express just how dangerous the galaxy can be for a headstrong princess—especially when another mercenary is determined to use her in his vendetta against her father. But their headstrong princess has a yen for submission that doesn't make her any less headstrong, which leaves Lucien and Syeer with their hands more than a little full. [Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, domination, menage (m/f/m), spanking.]
