Review Setting: The Planet Windarra, sometime in the future Sensuality: 8 Born and raised in the far-off East on the Planet Windarra, Sariana Daynes business expertise is desperately needed by the West sectors flamboyant Avylyn clan, but even her cool logic cant solve a serious business theft. Desperate, she devises a scheme to employ a member of the warrior Shield clan in the recovery operation. Unfortunately for Sarianas peace of mind, her practical plan turns shaky when she gazes into the fierce eyes of the Shield mercenary Gryph Chassyn, and realizes that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Gryph takes one look at Sariana and decides that shes one of the few women in the world who could become his Shield mate. Unfamiliar with the West sectors Shield society, Sariana cant even guess what mating with Gryph will do to her life--she only knows he stirs a depth of passion in her that she cant deny. Before she grasps the consequences, Sariana is allied with the powerful mercenary and they set off on a dangerous journey to recover the stolen prism cutter. Along the way, they discover unexpected possibilities in their bonding, even as their lives are threatened with deadly peril. And if they can only survive the obstacles, Gryph and Sariana just may change the future of Shield society forever. The multitalented Krentz flexes her fantasy muscles in this absorbing story of love on a planet far, far away. The heroine is sharp-tongued and quick-witted and shes paired with a hero who is equally intelligent and physically powerful. As expected from Krentz, the fast-paced story is expertly plotted with superb sexual tension in all the right places. Small wonder that Krentz is on the shortlist of the most successful romance authors of the decade; two chapters into this novel and youll know exactly why shes so popular. --Lois Faye Dyer Sarianna was a cool, confident businesswoman, an outcast from the East determined to regain her rightful status. Gryph was an intense mercenary respected and feared throughout the opulent cities and savage frontiers of the West. But from the moment they met, fate made them one. Was it their destiny to be bound to a force that both captivated and frightened them? About the Author Jayne Ann Krentz is the author of fifty New York Times bestsellers.
