Jemm Aves battles to keep her dreams alive on a dead-end
world. Working for the mines by day, she’s a successful
bajha player at night, disguised as a male to be allowed
to compete in the colony’s dangerous underworld where
club owners will go to extremes to retain the best
players. Every win puts her one small step closer to her
goal: saving enough to escape Barésh with her family.
When a nobleman from one of the galaxy’s elite families
recruits her to be a star player for his team, it's
because he doesn't know her secret. Her ruse proves to be
her most perilous game yet when it puts both their lives—
and her heart—at risk.
Prince Charming he was not...
Prince Klark is eager to reverse his reputation as the
black sheep of the Vedla clan, a family as famous for its
wealth and power as it is for being a bastion of male-
dominated tradition. If his bajha team can win the
galactic title it would go a long way toward restoring
the family honor that his misdeeds tarnished. He travels
to Barésh to track down an amateur who’s risen to the top
of the seedy world of street bajha, offering the commoner
a chance of a lifetime: a way off that reeking space rock
for good. But his new player comes with a scandalous
secret that turns his plans and his beliefs upside down.
He sets out to win a very different prize—his champion’s
reluctant heart.
