Susan Grant is back with an all-new, stand-alone tale of two improbable lovers,
their daring secret, and the gamble destined to alter the course of their
worlds forever!
She was playing with fire...
Jemm Aves battles to keep her dreams
alive on a dead-end world. Working for the mines by day, she’s a successful
bajha player at night, disguised as a male to be allowed to compete in the colony’s
dangerous underworld where club owners will go to extremes to retain the best
players. Every win puts her one small step closer to her goal: saving enough to
escape Barésh with her family. When a nobleman from one of the galaxy’s elite
families recruits her to be a star player for his team, it's because he doesn't
know her secret. Her ruse proves to be her most perilous game yet when it puts
both their lives—and her heart—at risk.
Prince Charming he was not...
Prince Klark is eager to reverse his
reputation as the black sheep of the Vedla clan, a family as famous for its
wealth and power as it is for being a bastion of male-dominated tradition. If
his bajha team can win the galactic title it would go a long way toward
restoring the family honor that his misdeeds tarnished. He travels to Barésh to
track down an amateur who’s risen to the top of the seedy world of street
bajha, offering the commoner a chance of a lifetime: a way off that reeking
space rock for good. But his new player comes with a scandalous secret that
turns his plans and his beliefs upside down. He sets out to win a very
different prize—his champion’s reluctant heart.

As soon
as Kes left the locker room, Klark turned to the wall and slapped his hands
against the cold, tiled wall, keeping them pressed there, fingers spread,
willing his hands to serve as anchors to prevent him from going after her.
Sea
Kestrel, a female.
A woman!
No mere
woman, either. He remembered her as Jemm, the errant Nico’s alleged girlfriend:
her long, strong, lean body and the graceful way she moved; that swaying,
tempting bottom as she walked away; her wavy hair wild and loose—all but
begging for his fingers to be tangled in it as he made love to her.
Damnation.
The mental image alone made his body react and his blood run hot. Yet, this
same female to which he was so attracted played bajha far
better than he ever could. He had come to respect her as an unbelievably
talented athlete, had let down his guard around her as a friend, and now she
was a beautiful woman, as well? In his world, such disparate qualities could
not apply to any one person. Yet, together, they added up to Jemm.
