10 years ago, Andrei Solace was given a choice to either join
the Federation Military Corps or waste away in jail towards
a certain death. Choosing the military and the Phantom
Corps was the best decision Andrei ever made. Though
leaving behind his friends and Piper Roundtree (the one girl
he once loved) was difficult, his situation at the time
was a complete dead-end.
Currently, the Phantom Corps has heard rumors that the
enemy, the Imperium is creating a
device that will cut millions off from trade resources
killing more innocent people. The Imperium is transporting
goods somehow so Andrei and the Phantom Corp decides to find
out what they are up to by using Andrei's contacts from the
past to get those answers. Andrei is not surprised by the
instant emotions Piper stirs up but he is surprised at how
he feels when he arrives to find Piper's compound under attack.
The credits sent over the last 10 years by Andrei Solace are
the only confirmation Piper Roundtree and her family have
that Andrei is still alive. The credits have kept them all
alive over the years, yet regardless of how much Piper is in
need of funds, she refuses to run cargo for the Imperium and
commit treason against the Federation. Unfortunately, Piper
has said no one time too many and the compound is attacked;
just as she is pinned down an avenging angel takes down the
enemy one by one. After the shooting stops and the dust
settles, Piper is taken aback that the angel is none other
than Andrei himself. The first emotion Piper feels after
relief is anger so hauling off and punching Andrei seems
perfect at the time. Andrei needs her
help but Piper wants his love.
This is Lauren Dane's third and latest addition to the
futuristic Phantom Ops series...and, wow! What a sexy and
fun read. Dane has a way of making the futures seem so real
and believable with characters that just pop off the page.
Love it!
They call him the Shadow. Andrei Solace delivers death on
silent feet as an assassin for the Phantom Corps. The
perfect weapon in the fight against the Imperium, he’s sent
to the same ’Verse he left behind as a youth.
Piper Roundtree is a mercenary prepared for anything—except
for being rescued from Imperial lackeys by the man she
hasn’t laid eyes on in eleven years. While she remembers
every mesmerizing sensation he gave her, she thought they
were through. And against the backdrop of an impending war,
their passion is reignited.
The girl Andrei once loved is now a fierce woman who can
pilot a ship through canyons at high speeds, and drive him
wild with equalabandon. As much as Andrei tries to protect
her from the darkness inside him, Piper admires his skills
and the code he lives by. Now the lovers must join forces—in
more ways than one—to save the Known Universe before the
enemy hurls it into irreversible chaos…
