To prove she's worthy of her place at the prestigious Majj Institute, Tru Van Dye must make an important discovery by age 30--and time is running out. To complete her research, she must leave home for the first time and travel to the most dangerous planet in the sector. She needs a guide: someone discreet, someone fearless, someone who guarantees results. The infamous Rayce Coburne fits the bill.
Rayce has given up treasure hunting, but his dream of renovating a starport is threatened by a lack of funds--funds Tru is offering. All he has to do is deny his attraction to his cool client long enough to complete one last mission.
Rayce is like no man Tru has ever met outside of a virtual reality simulator. He ignites feelings she didn't even know she was capable of. But if she falls for the bad boy in real life, will she be forced to give up the future she thought she was destined for?
