Pursuit of Pleasure
Kidnapped!
Earth Federation Commander Dax Morrison is furious at being kidnapped and coerced into flying escaped Altezzan royals to the safety of Federation territory. Still smarting from being tricked, Dax refuses the offers of crown jewels or cash currency in exchange for his help. His price? He wants his voluptuous and oh-so-delicious kidnapper, Her Royal Hotness, Princess Ariana. He wants her bad.
Ariana is desperate to save her kingdom. The only one who can help is a sexy, irresistible Federation Commander who makes her want to do wicked and definitely un-princesslike things. Like kissing him, touching him and exploring his body.
In the midst of a perilous journey, Dax and Ariana pursue forbidden, sinful pleasures. In a battle against time, Ariana must find a way to show Dax they belong together. Forever.

So what if he can’t keep his eyes off her and his body lights up like a firecracker whenever she’s near?
Circumstances force them to rely on each other for survival, and they realize what they share is a whole lot more than an irresistible attraction and mind-blowing sex. But forever?
