Fresh out of a disciplinary that almost ruined her career and landed her in jail, Summer King is ready for a much needed night on the town...or at least a tour around the bar district in her local space station. But it seems this King girl can't stay out of trouble and causes a brawl within minutes of her arrival. Roz Taren is a mercenary, leader of the Wildcats, and a man who knows what he wants. Right now, that's the pretty girl in the purple dress. Rescuing her from the unwanted attentions of a bunch of drunks lands her right in his bed for the hottest weekend he's ever experienced. Then she's recalled and Roz discovers his little firebird is a fleet pilot (aka insane crazy with a side of total fruitloop). Fleet pilots live fast, die young and leave legends behind. When he receives word her ship is lost with all hands, Roz must bury her along with his heart. Only this firebird isn't your garden variety. This bird is a Phoenix...one out to tame a Wildcat.
