Description

Her voice is famous throughout the galaxy; her face is completely unknown.

Fleeing her monstrous husband back on puritanical Earth and the police assassins he's hired, singer Mella Archer becomes stranded on the frontier planet of Nexus. Desperate to survive, she picks the wrong target--Dain, the head of planetary security.

Dain is amused by the attempted theft, and when Mella is sentenced to serve time as a bedroom indenture, he buys her contract. As he introduces the repressed Earther to the pleasures of bedding a dominating warrior, he comes to realize the little thief has stolen his heart.

When her evil husband arrives on Nexus and has lunch with Dain, Mella is panic-stricken. Her owner must be part of the conspiracy to kill her, and it will only be a matter of time before the monster discovers that she's still alive. She attempts to escape. She fails. Embittered by her lies and mistrust, Dain returns her to Indenture Hall to be sold again.

Now the monster has found her. And she has nowhere left to run...

Cherise Sinclair has done it again. She's also opened my eyes to a very excellent sci-fi/futuristic story when I wondered if any actually existed. DDR Reviews
