A ship hijacked. An arrogant and handsome classmate. A relentless desert.

Skylar Kawabata is so close to having her Class Three pilot's license, she can taste it. She's worked two years in isolation to get to the final exam, and nothing is going to stop her now, not even Kalvin, the class pretty boy high flyer who can't stop calling her Princess. She's going to kill him if he calls her that one more time...

When their class ship is hijacked during the final exam, and Skylar and Kalvin are marooned in the desert, they'll need more than patience and a supply of water to stay alive until rescue comes.

Will Skylar and Kalvin make it out of the unforgiving desert in one piece? Or will they kill each other before the desert kills them?

An Unforgiving Desert is the prequel novella to The Amagi science fiction romance series. If you like talented heroines, cocky, self-assured men, and a hot desert gamble, then you'll devour S. J. Pajonas's gutsy action-adventure. Be sure to read An Unexpected Debt after!
