Torc has been hired to retrieve a Delicant, a prized pleasure slave, and return her to her birth family. Rescuing the beautiful slave is easy for the solitary killing beast. Being able to harness his lust as she constantly offers herself to him is another story. Enslaved since childhood, Ailyea has no concept of life without a Master ordering her every move. She's completely selfless, knowing only how to give pleasure. Ailyea is terrified when she finds herself under Torc's control, and it's not just his fangs that throw her for a loop. He doesn't abuse her—won't even use her for sex. And she finds herself wishing he would. Torc is determined to teach Ailyea to become her own person before he leaves her alone in a dangerous, bloodthirsty universe where females are scarce and in high demand. Ailyea has a few lessons for him, too—if she can convince him that she genuinely wants the sex she offers. Along the way, both must confront the deeper feelings between them—before they reach her planet and have to part ways forever. Reader Advisory: This book contains several scenes of graphic violence, including violence against women.

Once upon a time, two little girls grew up hundreds of miles apart. They lived, they loved and especially, they read. Reading led them to finding each other and discovering a mutual love of writing. We are two lucky people who have found a best friend and a wonderful writing partner online. We met writing fan-fiction and discovered a common bond in writing engaging characters. It wasn't long before we were branching off from each other's stories. We wrote together quite creatively, naturally, and sensually. We understood one another, we clicked. Not only do we have a lot in common, we aren't afraid to criticize, guide and push each other. It seemed natural that we could take our association out of role-play and heat up the romance genre. Melany Logen, an award-winning author, was born.
