Raised from childhood as an assassin, Claire finds her world knocked off kilter when Theo Kevonis, a rich, ex-Air Corp nobleman, rescues her from an airship crash. To escape a death sentence, Claire conceals her identity, but Theo sinks his steely Dom fingers into her heart and soul, showing her the pleasures to be found in surrendering to his touch. Captivated, she binds herself in lie after lie rather than risk losing the one man who's ever loved her. Disaster strikes when her loathsome commander returns from the dead. Somehow, Claire must find a way to win back Theo's trust and destroy the man who threatens them both.
