No man in the galaxy inspires more fear than Korbin, the Admiral of the Black. His life as leader of the pirates leaves little room for trust, so when Korbin's second-in-command disappears without a trace, he suspects the worst Zain Strand has left his life as a sex slave behind and risen within the pirate ranks. But he'll abandon it all to rescue an old friend from recapture by the slavers-even if that means a suicidal confrontation with his old master. He doesn't expect Korbin's arrival, doesn't want Korbin's help . . . but Korbin gives Zain no choice. Posing as Master and slave to infiltrate a slave auction, Korbin and Zain embark on a journey of lust that rapidly reveals their deeper feelings. When Zain's old master discovers their ruse, Korbin must do everything in his power to save both their lives and their newfound love.
