An attempted assassination left Princess Shalira blind as a child and, now that sheβs of marriageable age, her prospects are not good because of her disability. Sheβs resigned herself to an arranged marriage rather than face life under the thumb of her cold stepmother. But then she meets Mike Varone, a Sectors Special Forces officer sent to Mahjundar by the intergalactic government to retrieve a ship lost in her planetβs mountains. After Mike saves Shalira from another assassination attempt, she arranges for him to escort her across the planet to her future husband. Sheβs already falling hard for the deadly offworlder and knows she should deny herself the temptation he represents, but taking Mike along to protect her is the only way sheβll live long enough to escape her ruthless stepmother. Mike, for his part, resists his growing attraction to the princess; he has a mission on this planet and rescuing the vulnerable but brave princess isnβt it. No matter how much he wishes it could be. But what should have been an easy trek through Mahjundarβs peaceful lands swiftly turns into an ambush with danger around every turn. Shaliraβs marriage begins to seem less like an arranged union and more like yet another planned assassination. The more they work together to survive, the harder it becomes to stop themselves from falling in love. Caught in a race against time, can they escape the hostile forces hunting them and make it off the planet?
