Escaping Korth

As if the threat of torture and interrogation isn't enough...

K'urt Knox, a Korthan cyborg warrior assigned to interrogate human combatants alongside his mogha companion, W'ard, is complicated by the fact that when they enter the prison cell this time, he can't speak. He knows this prisoner from his childhood, from a time when Korthans and humans lived together in peace. Now, he recognizes the fully mature human female combatant he is supposed to interrogate as his mate.

Liana Walker is an agronomist for the Human Colony Alliance. Studying newly terraformed soil on a neutral world, she is pleased to find the terraforming process worked. Her pleasure soon turns to fear when she is captured by Korthan warriors. With no end of war between their peoples in sight, the Korthans declare her a combatant and imprison her on Korth—with a deadly creature hiding in Liana's dark cell.

Attraction and longing build between Liana...
