On the station, we indentured humans are less than dirt. If you’re lucky enough to get assigned a job that won’t kill you, you do anything to keep it. So when my smoldering Vinduthi boss Laux starts hitting on me, I steer clear. Trouble is the last thing I need.

The Vinduthi have a vicious reputation. Getting involved with Laux could end badly. But when I overhear guests plotting to bomb the casino, I can't stay silent.

As we both risk it all to stop it, the sparks between us threaten to ignite into another kind of inferno.

Work has never been so complicated...or so steamy. But which one is going to detonate with a bigger bang - the casino, or my desire?
