They're in it to win it–or die trying.

Willa Rayes, only daughter of a legendary Lingorian fighter pilot, can fly any ship in the galaxy. Better than her brothers, in fact. But does that get her any respect? Not as long as she has breasts. Winning the Nebulon Trike will not only force her family to notice her, it'll be her declaration of independence from men in general.

As the checkpoints go by and the danger escalates, the fight for control, the lead–and satisfaction–approaches supernova heat. Burning away their resistance, and the tough shells that protect their one vulnerability…their hearts.

When desire collides with danger, rope up and hang on for the ride.

Lady Victoria Mead cannot believe fate has been so cruel to her yet again. First, her father squandered the family fortune and died in the process. Now, her quest to secure a future in America has been foiled by an attack on her wagon train, leaving her alone and half-naked in the wilderness.

Underneath Victoria's fragile exterior lies an inner resilience they all come to admire–and a deep well of sensuality that tempts them to offer her a permanent place in their home, their beds…and their hearts.

The energy might bind them, but their love could save us all…
