With danger and political intrigue surrounding them, they'll have to put their differences aside and learn to work together in order to find the truth ... and maybe a second chance at real love. Vicky Burkholder takes you on an action-packed romp through space in Queen of Hearts, Book 3 of her sci-fi romance series, Gambling on Love.
Adam Chalmers has one hard and fast rule when it comes to passengers on his ship—no lone women. Ever. But when Admiral Keeley Reed of Fleet requests a special service from him, he can't very well refuse. Adam nearly refuses as his "cargo" approaches him. Amanda Ki. The woman who'd tugged at his heart two years ago. But she'd left him without a word and he'd been transferred as far from her as possible.
However, if he doesn't take her on, the kidnappers who took his sister may get away because she has a way to find the answers he's been seeking.
Tiny, silver-eyed Mandy is part Halo, a race of warriors known for their deadly ferocity. When Adam left her, she suspected her mother, queen of the Halo world, and Admiral Keeley of setting their separation up. But Adam is her true mate, and she can prove it. Unfortunately, he's an undercover Fleet agent, and she's heir to the throne of the Halo world. It will take the two of them working together to overcome politics, danger, and each other in order to have a chance at real love.
