Caught between two evils,
Kate McAllister chooses the lesser
of the two: Loose her virginity immediately, or be gifted to a sadistic
misogynist who prizes innocence above all else...only so that he may
better
destroy it. But deep in the dungeon where she's held, Kate is lead to a
man,
bound and without further hesitation, makes her choice.
It isn't her idea of
seduction, but given the alternatives,
she finds she has no choice--and awakens an unbelievable pleasure in
the
process. Little does she know that the events of that night and her
actions
will alter the course of her fate.
Jed is a Karn'alian
cyborg, made to fight and kill, and for
years he's sought Kate, intent on taking his revenge for what was taken
from
him. Yet when he finds his quarry, he
finds that once is not enough. He craves more. Can revenge be sweet
enough to
last a lifetime?
Drawn together in
unfortunate circumstances, Jed and Kate
are not the most likely to find happiness, but they are both capable of
learning and understanding one another as they get to know one another
outside
of the recurring passion and need that binds them together.
This reviewer was
delighted to see the redeeming and caring
qualities emerge from each of these well-developed individuals look
outside
themselves and search for answers in the one that they come to love.
Ms. Havlir has penned a
captivating tale of forgiveness and
discovery as two people from very different origins learn that to love
doesn't
make one weak or mean giving up everything they've ever hoped for.
