Shadow Crossing

Reformed smuggler Celie Cameron unexpectedly finds herself immersed in a world of danger and betrayal when a routine delivery goes horribly wrong, leading her into the arms of sexy pilot Rurick, and together they vow to save the Verante quadrant from destruction, while surrending to fierce passion. Original. "Celie Cameron had spent her youth as a smuggler, skirting the law. But though she'd given that up, she missed the adrenaline rush of danger. Then a routine delivery went haywire, throwing her into the arms of a handsome pilot--an android, or so she thought--and Celie suddenly found herself embroiled in a galaxy-spanning intrigue and deception. Rurick was a miracle creation, with golden eyes, sensuous masculinity, and stunning charisma. But though he attracted her as no human ever had, the secrets the pilot hid threatened everything Celie had ever believed. From a glittering royal palace to a shipwreck on a barren planet, she resisted his allure...until ultimately she learned to trust her heart. Then, together, she and Rurick swore to challenge the evil that threatened the Verante quadrant. Their love would bring light to the dark expanse of space known as Shadow Crossing."--Back cover
