Prisoner of the Wind — Charlotte Boyett-Compo

WindVerse, Book Four.

Marin Deringnoe and her friends from the exclusive boarding school they attended were in deep trouble. Protesting the policy of no women in government, they had egged the chief tribunalist's runabout and earned for themselves a lengthy stay at the Fiáin women's prison where they would perform their community service.

Taegin Drae, the captain of the prison transport ship, frightened the virginal Marin more than the strange dreams she'd been having of a tall, dark and lusty lover. He was the most intimidating male she had ever seen and one look from his golden eyes made her knees weak. But was it from fright or a building passion that seemed to come over her each time the handsome shape-shifter was near?

In the vastness of space beyond her ruthless mother's reach of power, Marin would become a woman in the arms of her mother's worst enemy.
