A Man Redeemed, A Woman Saved:

Blaez Dolan is an intergalactic badass, a werewolf with one helluva attitude. He takes nothing from nobody and if you cross him, you might not live long enough to regret it. He has no family, no friends, no ties to anything save his ship and the deadly laser whip he has strapped to his thigh. As good with a blade as he is with the whip, killing comes as easily to him as breathing.

It seems Rozenn Quinlan has a problem. She has run away from Galrath Convent and after stowing away on ship after ship she's managed to find her way to Aneas Quadrant and become stranded on the planet Gelal. Without money or food and with no prospects for leaving, you'd think her luck had changed when she encounters the black runabout fueling for takeoff. But hiding on board might prove to be the biggest mistake of her life -- or will it?

In the barren darkness of space, a man with nothing to lose and a young woman with everything to gain find themselves marooned on a world where judgment fits the crime and passion is but a touch away.
