Transformed by empathic crystals into the perfect paramour, Benedetta Galil is the last treasure of her fading world. When raiders attack—seeking to corrupt the crystals and conquer all of charted space—she gives herself as a prize to the one man in the universe who values freedom over power. Mercenary sheership Captain Corso Deynah left oppression behind him on a burning planet and has no use for a sex slave, even one as seductive as Benedetta. But while he stubbornly resists her body, her fierce spirit tempts him, and he will risk everything—his ship, his seclusion, the very stars—to win not just her passion but her love. Originally published as "Enslaved by Starlight" in HOTTER ON THE EDGE: Science Fiction Romance Anthology.

    Despite having lived among them safely for years, she knows what they’re capable of. Still, when she meets Verit, a K with a voice like fine whiskey, all she feels is a thrill. After a one night stand turns into a bad habit, Ari, determined not to become another submissive statistic, sets up some ground rules: one night he’s in charge, and the next night she is. But soon Ari finds herself falling too deep into her own games, and maybe even falling for her playmate. In a game this dangerous, can anyone win? WARNING for dirty talk, rough sex, foul language, and all the things that make books fun. Best enjoyed if you’re familiar with Anna Zaires’ Krinar Chronicles.
