I snuck onto the wrong ship. Now I'm at the mercy of the most terrifying and deadly of the Vandar warlords-and he refuses to let me go. Running away and joining my sister and her Vandar mate seemed like a great idea. Until I stowed away on the wrong ship. Now I'm on a Vandar warbird flying far away from my home planet, but my sister is nowhere in sight. Instead, I'm trapped with the Vandar warlord they call the Deranged Raas. They whisper that he's insane, and when I meet the menacing alien, I understand why. The dark and ruthless warlord might be huge and gorgeous, but he also rules with absolute power and domination. He and his crew live and fight in the remotest part of the galaxy, where there are no rules and no mercy. It's where he plans to take me unless I can convince him to let me go. Raas Vassim does not tolerate stowaways or challenge. But I didn't run away from one controlling life to end up in another. No way will I submit to his commands-even if his touch provokes feelings I've never experienced before. Although I fear his darkness, it also stokes a fire deep within me. And makes me want to delve beneath his dominant and savage exterior. All I need to do to get away from the Raas is to send a message to my sister, which he'll let me do. For a price. But is submitting to him a price I'm willing to pay?

This was always going to be a hard sell of a redemption book for me. Cos Juliette, man she really grated on me in the last book. She basically offered up her sister on a plate to that odious toad! Thankfully she does redeem herself! Vassim may be known as the Deranged but that's all just a smokescreen. His nightmares are a curse, he relives the worst moment of his life over and over again. So his solution - just don't sleep! But when he finds Juliette has snuck on board he has to rein back his natural instinct to airlock her and realises she may be the solution to his curse. Juliette just wanted to say goodbye to her sister. Sneaking on board the Bounty Hunter's ship seemed a good way to ambush her into accepting the apology. Pity, she snuck on the wrong ship! But can she offer herself up as his cursebreaker? Magic, Prophecy and a grumpy, sleep-deprived hero. What a great story. Just switch off your brain and go with the flow. We even get to meet the plucky Carlogians again. Gret conclusion to the series, although I'm going to miss those "tails" of theirs, LOL.
