Publisher's Synopsis
Captain Johan Larsen is in serious financial trouble. His ship, the Valkyrie, is decades old and falling apart. In a desperate ploy to get the funds he needs, he agrees to a risky but lucrative transport contract. His cargo: an accused assassin en route to trial, to be delivered to the other side of Confederate space, cash on delivery. His money problems will be over once he delivers her alive to her destination-provided that the killers pursuing them don't succeed and that his passenger doesn't murder him herself. And then there's the fact that he's stupid enough to be falling in love with her. Okay, so maybe he's in more than financial trouble.
