On the run from Kat’s ex-husband, the two of them are thrown together constantly, and Dair finds it harder and harder to resist this hot and sexy grown-up Kat. Except he doesn’t do forever.

And what she wants now is Dair, and for the two of them to satisfy the hot and explosive sexual tension between them until it’s time for her to start running again. The only problem is, Kat’s ex-husband is now looking for both of them...

As with the death of the Phoenix, the Vazakanian Empire has fallen, and from the ashes that remained, there has risen a power like none the galaxy has ever seen. The Vazonian Empire grows with each passing moment: like a great tide from the depths of the sea, the power of Queen Jonarka cannot be halted, as she offers a path to eternity in the one true way of your all-knowing creator and master of salvation, Xiaf. The Interstellar Union will not protect Earth. The Interstellar Union is a weak and inferior grouping of star systems that cower in the presence of the great Vazonian fleet. People of Earth, are you not so different from us yourselves? We offer you a way of life founded upon the very principles you call your own: the will of the free market is unquestioned, faith is the path to salvation, government is inherently evil and, thus, we are governed by a body much like one of the great corporations you trust with your lives. Submit to the Queen, and you shall become eternal.
