Publisher's Synopsis
Molly has a dangerous secret-a subterfuge so bold and risky that she can't allow anyone outside of her trusted circle to get too close to her, fearing discovery.
When an Iriduan warrior named Shulgi is lured into her criminal underworld on Za'Kluth to reclaim his property, he threatens her aloof façade. She didn't count on her reaction to the handsome Iriduan male, nor could she predict that she would come to crave him more than her next breath. Her plan was simple, the potential payoff big enough to take the risk, but her intense feelings for Shulgi cast her carefully constructed life into turmoil. Her feelings for him risk everything she has worked so hard to build, but she can't bring herself to deny the promise of a love that would be worth any sacrifice. Shulgi is determined to free Molly from her bonds, and Molly is desperate to protect her secret, even as she loses her heart. Their love threatens to destroy them both, but neither of them can ignore it. When tragedy strikes, will they survive the fallout-and can their love possibly endure the truth? ***This book is the seventh book in the Iriduan Test Subjects series.
