Being sent to collect a space pirate's stolen cargo seems like the break Lieutenant Leia Ballore needs from the boredom of her current job as Guard to the Executive Family on Nas. Discovering the man of her dreams isn't part of the plan. But Detective Jake Marshall is off limits. He's been kidnapped into a time and a galaxy he can't possibly understand, and it's her job to send him home. Whether she wants to or not. Coming to in a grungy prison cell with no memory of how he or his partner got there marks a definite low point in Jake's life. Meeting the stunning Lieutenant Ballore does wonders for improving his day. Until he discovers the truth of where he is and what's happened to him. Despite the unbelievable circumstances, though, he's still drawn to the smart, tough warrior sent to rescue him, and the heat between he and Leia is impossible to resist. Yet staying in her universe and ignoring his own duty back on Earth isn't an option. Hunted across the galaxy by slave traders, Jake and Leia must rely on each other to survive. But as the desire between them builds, igniting into an unstoppable passion, they'll find the choice between duty and desire no longer so simple.
