Synopsis

A Romantic Times Magazine Top Pick Award Winner
A Sime~Gen Reviewer's Choice Award Finalist

Forced to destroy her life's work to prevent its unethical use, Dr. Kerra Telsier steals a starship and hires grounded smuggler Aden Locke to fly it - and her - safely offworld.

But "safely" turns out to be a relative term. Someone got Aden grounded on purpose. Someone who's not too happy about Kerra's role in his escape.

Seven years ago, driven mad by exposure to a powerful alien pheromone, Gandes brutally attacked a friend of Aden's and left her for dead. In revenge, Aden betrayed Gandes to the authorities. Now Gandes is back, and he's determined to destroy Aden and everyone close to him. Including the naive young scientist who was foolish enough to interfere in Gandes' plans.

Aden's determined to protect Kerra. But it isn't Aden's protection Kerra wants...

About the Author:

Norma Cecilia McPhee, named after her two grandfathers, bawled her way into the world in Canso, Nova Scotia on a bright July morning, just before lunch. Shortly thereafter her family moved to Cape Breton Island, where she grew up alternating between the city of Sydney and a cottage in a place called Beaver Cove.

Norma lived with a steady stream of dogs, cats, fish, worms, and other pets, some much longer lived than others. She spent her girlhood camping, fishing, road-tripping and hiking, and learned to swim, boat, dream, and anything else that offered a challenge. She grew up surrounded by books of every concievable type, in a close-knit family known for its collectively weird sense of humor.

Norma attended Holy Angels High School, an all-girl institution, where she left a trail of nuns and other teachers wondering what happened. From there it was off to Nova Scotia Teacher's college, where she managed to steal a certificate in Early Childhood Education. But her real education came from reading everything she could get her hands on, regardless of subject.

Norma works as a nanny to support her writing habit. She lives in Toronto, Ontario with two beautiful, brilliant, and creative little girls (if she does say so herself) and their parents.

This bio was partially written by Norma's father. It has been edited to remove any bald-faced lies.
