Out of the frying pan, and into the fire... After a daring escape from a planet that held her hostage for more than half a decade, Andie is having trouble telling if her situation is better or worse. She’s not cut out for outlaw life, and with her rescuer, the enigmatic Xandr, running hot and cold, she isn't sure that she has any reason to remain with his crew. Things should be going great for Xandr now that he’s out of prison and back on his ship. Instead he's been stripped of his position as captain, his crew is questioning his decisions, and he can't keep his eyes off the human he rescued from Ixilta. Demons from his past mean that romance isn't something he can offer, but every time Andie gets close he can't think of anything but her. When a job comes up that's too lucrative to miss, Xandr and his crew will risk everything to pull it off. But with the hold Andie has on him, is he ready to risk her too?
