Betrayal, passion, adventure, primal sex, and a fight to the death. Mating a 26th century Oracan Bounty Hunter with a 18th century pirate has its little glitches. Bounty hunter Talos bows to pressure to bring his mate home for the completion of his strict warrior culture's bonding ritual. Aidan, displaced 18th century Earth pirate -- light-fingered, sly, charming and understandably naive about the new world he's been thrust into -- can't wait. Even if it turns out someone wants him dead. The 26th century looks different, but it turns out to be a lot like his old life!
