Rini Campell's one shot at keeping her field agent position with the United Galaxies' repo department means bringing in the spaceship Liberty. Piece of cake. Too bad she didn't count on the pilot still being on board. Or being buck naked.

Lucus Granger doesn't have time to deal with a pain-in-the-ass repo agent. Not when he's minutes away from dropping off a cargo haul for the psychotic alien dictator of Aquatica. Though he figures it's just about the stupidest bargain he's ever made, he allows Rini to tag along for the flight.

Big mistake.

Stranded in enemy territory, they're fighting two seemingly insurmountable battles--getting out alive and resisting their fiery attraction to each other. For these two stubborn hearts, love could bloom in the desert...if it doesn't kill them first.
