A Sarcastic Criminal... Locked away in a maximum security prison on an artificial planet, the last thing Faelan expected was a prince to come begging for her help. She accepts his deal in exchange for her freedom, but even more unexpected are the feelings she comes to have for Prince Virion. In order to help him, she'll have to face her past and return to the world of betrayal that landed her behind bars, including the man that got her tortured and arrested. A Troubled Prince... Virion will do anything to bring his little sister home, including resorting to criminal means. Releasing Faelan is only the start, disobeying his king-and father-not even the half of it. He soon discovers, however, that Faelan isn't as bad as her reputation makes her out to be. True to her word, she helps him, but more than that she gives him hope. A Kidnapped Princess... As the trail takes them deeper into space where no one but criminals like Faelan have gone and survived, Virion will desperately need Faelan's skill and guidance. Can they find his sister in time or is it already too late?
