After her father’s unexpected death, shy, full-figured
Parmia Leeosa is left with one asset—his sentient sidearm, Markes. Following months
of struggles, she reluctantly decides to utilize her one talent—the latent
sexual empathy she inherited from her mother. Five years later, after
countless unpleasant sexual encounters, she accepts a last,
distasteful job that will allow her to return to the sheltered life she’d
enjoyed before her father’s death. With the remaining credits, she’ll finally be
financially secure enough to grant Markes his freedom.
Weary of hunting and longing to find a bond mate he can
settle down with, Delsin Adarinas, an unwilling but successful bounty hunter,
reluctantly accepts a final, lucrative job. Unfortunately, the job is on Denhari,
the home planet he fled years earlier. When he and Parmia meet, the attraction
is immediate and powerful. Too bad collecting his bounty depends on capturing
her and damning her to a life of sexual servitude.
