What a girl wants and what a girl needs are sometimes two different things…For Melissa "Lucky" Chance, another stretch in Ganymede's ice prison is nothing new. The flash-freeze that's supposed to destroy her will only leaves her with an insatiable desire for the first hot body she lays eyes on. Except this time, she faces a death sentence. Her only hope of escape lies with the man known as The Butcher. John Ramius understands the logic behind his conviction as a criminally insane mass murderer. No man should have been able to slaughter over fifty men in as many minutes, but no one sees the underlying curse that compels him to sense-and fulfill-someone's deepest need. Chance's skill will free him to kill the Sun-King; he will find no rest until he does. As they run from the forces of the Jovian colonies, Ramius finds himself temporarily sidetracked, not only by Chance's relentless desire, but by her underlying, unspoken need. Ignoring it-or his own compulsion to do every wicked thing imaginable to her-is not an option. Only after all their defenses are stripped away do they discover that their meeting wasn't by chance. Someone is manipulating them both, and the only way out is the path to their destruction…Warning: This book contains explicit sex, thieves, murderers, a sentient ship and a hero who will give you exactly what you need. Not responsible for reader's sudden compulsion to jump significant other's bones.
