Zola Gray is a woman on a mission. After escaping a year's imprisonment, she was grateful to take refuge on Delroi and recover from her long captivity, but she isn't like the company she suddenly finds herself in. She was a willing member of the Tel Group until one assassination too many made her rebel. Now Tel is coming after her and her friends, and she'll do whatever it takes to end them once and for all.

Jarek Idis was born, raised, and trained a warrior. Then he followed his true passion, healing. He knows Zola wants to confront the assassins coming after her in a misguided attempt at redemption, but he has other ideas. He's supposed to be healing her body, but he's going straight for her heart and soul. He sees what's hidden under her bad ass veneer and he intends to keep the woman he knows she truly is.
