Welcome to Quantrin, the glittering entertainment capital of the galaxy. In every bar, casino, and brothel, you're as likely to get a knife as a kiss - and both will be given with a smile. The machine runs on neon and venom-the tables are open. Haez has two days-two days to pay off his debts to the Sabre syndicate, either with credits or his life. And when he gets a lead that could be the answer to all his problems, it's snatched out from under him by a beautiful human con artist. He would kill her if only he could stop thinking about what her body would feel like under his. Sonia has pulled the scam so many times before, but something about the tall, handsome mephite lingers in her mind long after she makes off with his lead. But when the job turns out to be more than either of them bargained for, they're forced together to escape the city-planet Quantrin before it's too late. Even as their lives hang in the balance, neither can deny their sizzling attraction. Can these two scoundrels overcome their mutual mistrust and indulge their passion while dodging laser bolts? This thrill-ride galactic noir will grab you by the neck and keep you there with fast gliders, dangerous dames, and hot spice. Fasten your seatbelts; it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
