Zenos, from the Astra Legion of Rogue 5, is on a mission to find an antidote to the deadly venom flowing through his body. Without the antidote, one bite during mating will kill a hybrid Forsian's chosen female. Zenos must acquire the serum at any cost, for like his Atlan cousins, his mating instinct will eventually consume him. The last thing he needs is a distraction, but one look at the defiant female bounty hunter and he can't deny his body what she's offeringa few wild hours of pleasure.Ivy Birkeland's entire ReCon unit was annihilated as a result of Quell, a mind-altering drug the pirates of Rogue 5 are known to distribute. A rebel to her core, her heart still broke when she was forced to walk away from her life as a Coalition fighter. Now she hunts a bounty that will allow her to catch the criminals selling Quell and avenge her dead friends. Free of the Coalition Fleet's strict regulations, she makes a deal with an unknown Rogue 5 operative to gain access to his home planet and travels to Transport Station Zenith to meet him.When Ivy's smoking hot, one-night-stand turns out to be her Rogue 5 contact, every carefully-laid plan she's made goes to hell. Because when a rebel and a rogue are forced to work together, sparks will fly. They don't need the criminals to kill them, they just might finish each other…if they don't fall in love first.
