Gladys Hawke — Samantha Winston

Gladys Hawke is the toughest woman in the galaxy. Former notorious smuggler, still wanted on dozens of planets, she's now the ace pilot of the largest Federation trade ship, the Ever-Gee. She's put her past behind her...except for the nightmares...and the holes in her memory. But the past has a way of catching up with you... Tagor the Pirate is wanted in twenty solar systems. He's known for smuggling, insouciant quips, and his harem of slave women. It's all an act. Eisonian empath, Admiral Tagor is actually a Federation spy on a mission to save the galaxy, and Gladys Hawke is his best hope. If Tagor saves Gladys from her past, can she save Tagor from their powerful, passionate attraction and the deadly danger of their soulmate bond?
