Eden Black strolls among individuals, protecting them from your murderous evil of other-worlders who abduct and enslave. And though she appears to be individual herself, Eden can be an alien, a Raka, recognized by her fantastic hair and pores and skin, and gifted using the ominous ability to eliminate without remorse — and with total precision. That is, before fateful night she’s one shot to remove her focus on, a individual slaver — and misses.

‘Failing’ isn’t in Eden’s vocabulary. Neither can be ‘partner’ — but that’s what she is forcibly designated after recovering from her disastrous objective. A sexy, steely-nerved human agent, Lucius Adaire loves only sparking the fury — and rousing the desire — of the fiery feminine assassin too proud to admit defeat. Locked in an assignment they can not afford to lose, Lucius and Eden end up bound in two high-stakes, heart-pounding games: the sensual web of kill or be killed, and the erotic dance of seduction.
