Celie Cameron spent her youth as a smuggler, skirting the
law. But though she's given that up, she misses the
adrenaline rush of danger. Then a routine delivery goes
haywire, throwing her into the arms of a handsome
pilot—android, or so she thinks-—and Celie suddenly finds
herself embroiled in a galaxy-spanning intrigue and
deception. Rurick is a miracle creation. But though he
attracts her as no human ever has, his secrets threaten all
Celie has ever believed. She resists his allure... until she
learns to trust her heart. Then they will challenge the evil
that threatens the Verante quadrant, and love will bring
light to the dark expanse of space known as Shadow Crossing.
