An intergalactic cold war-and some heated passion- from an inventive new voice in futuristic romance. After a stint in an alien prison, Captain Ari Rose wonders why she even bothered to survive. Stripped of her command and banished to her father's scientific expedition to finish a Ph.D. she doesn't want, Ari never planned to languish quietly behind a desk. She wasn't built for it, either. But when pirates commandeer her father's ship, Ari once again becomes a prisoner. As far as pirate leader Cullin is concerned, Ari's past imprisonment puts her dead center in Cullin's sights. If she hasn't been brainwashed and returned as a spy, then he's convinced she must be part of a traitorous alliance endangering billions of lives. Cullin can't afford the desire she fires within him and he'll stop at nothing, including destroying her, to uncover the truth.

This book is super dark and really sad. There's love from afar, torture, betrayal. It was hard getting through some of the book toward the end.
Awesome!Okay, there were a few instances where I thought Ari should've stayed mad at Cullen a little longer, made him pay for his idiocy... but yeah, awesome.
I really enjoyed this one, but what kept my rating down was the instant attraction and manipulation at the beginning of the book. The manipulation I get, because Cullen has a job to do, but instant attraction? Oh hell no. However, the story greatly improved after that and I'm glad I stuck with it...
4.5 stars After the first few pages it took me to get my bearing on what the hell was going on, I knew I liked this book, and I have no idea when it happened but at some point that like turned into love. The characters are multi-dimensional and Burnard created a complex world with a lot of politic...
This book had a very interesting plot, but also some mechanical issues that diluted my enjoyment. Several times over the course of the book I found myself back tracking to understand quick changes in direction, and many of the supporting characters weren't fleshed out enough to carry their dialogue...
