Space pirates? Here? Solstice Week should be a time to celebrate. Not a time to chase a tomb raiding tigershifter through a cold alien swamp. When librarian-guardian Seria discovers a vandal raiding the ancient site she's charged with protecting, she pursues to bring him to justice. Obviously, being captured by space pirates and caged with the criminal wasn’t part of the plan. Now she and the irritatingly handsome rogue must work together to free themselves or be enslaved. Little does she know, that the tigershifter is more than he seems… and might just be a greater part of her destiny. Reader Note: This is a prequel short story to the novel TAKEN BY THE TIGERLORD with a happy-for-now ending. No prior knowledge of any previous books is required.
