For smart-mouthed mercenary Baz Vaughn, life has a way of coming full circle. Framed for the murder of his parents in a bloody massacre, Baz escaped his home moon of Callisto twelve years ago. Since then, he's been on the run from his vengeful brother, the undisputed king of Callisto's underworld. Baz was happy to traverse the galaxy, working as a soldier of fortune on distant planets and moons. That is, until he met Tasha Kincaid and fell in love. Now, he's headed back to Callisto with Tasha to find the sister she lost a decade ago. Baz knows that Callisto isn't safe, but he fears letting Tasha go it alone. The two discover that their siblings are married themselves, and Tasha will have to go directly into the lion's den to rescue her sister from Baz's crime lord brother. Even worse, Baz's psychotic ex - a deadly assassin herself - is stalking him through the city's streets, and she won't let him go again. OUT OF THE ASHES is the steamy, action-packed sequel to SALACIAN SAPPHIRE and the conclusion to Tasha and Baz's story. Fans of sci-fi romance and romantic suspense will love this cyberpunk adventure into the heart of an interstellar metropolis.
