Alyssa came to Veenori in search of the man who killed her brother. It was the perfect plan—or so she thought. Then she finds herself being sold as a slinoy, a sex slave, and bought by one very gorgeous overseer to the very mine she'd been trying to infiltrate. Taron didn't want the undercover assignment, nor did he want a slinoy. But the second he saw those gray eyes, he knew he didn't have a choice. The woman his brothers had been searching for had slipped through their fingers and fallen right into his lap. He'd promised her brother he'd find her and keep her safe, but resisting the temptation of her passionate nature would be damn difficult—and not losing his heart even more so. Unfortunately, before they can find a future together, they will first have to survive the present and the man bent on seeing both of them dead.
