Janice Hawkins is on a mission, and it doesn't include getting wrapped up--or naked--with Delroi warrior Falkor Trace. No matter how appealing and sexy he is. She's determined to infiltrate the shadowy Tel Group homebased on Earth. The secretive organization of telepaths trained her, used her for dishonorable means, and may have been behind the death of her parents. When word reaches her the organization is once again recruiting minors, she knows the time has come to act. She may not be left standing at the end, but she's taking them with her. Falkor is intrigued by Janice--enough to follow her to Earth--but when he begins digging, he discovers she is a mix of lies and secrets. Unraveling them exposes a woman of courage and honor. A woman who has always walked alone. She may not be willing to admit she needs help, but he's not about to leave her to such a dangerous undertaking on her own. But to emerge victorious, they must learn to trust each other--and time is running out.
