cover blurb:
In the harsh Northern Waste where human life is
worth little, ice trucker Raina Bowen has learned to keep her eyes open and her
knife close at hand. She’s spent her life on the run, one step ahead of the
megalomaniac who hunts her. All she wants is to stay out of trouble and haul
her load of grain to Gladow Station—but trouble finds her in the form of a sexy
stranger called Wizard. He has the trucking pass she needs, and she has to drag
him out of a brawl with the very people she’s trying to hide from in order to
get it. She may have rescued him, but Raina’s not foolish enough to see Wizard
as anything close to helpless. He’s hard and honed and full of secrets—secrets
that may destroy them both. As they race across the Waste, trying to outrun
rival truckers, ice pirates, and the powerful man bent on their destruction,
Raina’s forced to admit that trouble’s found her. And this time, there’s
nowhere left to run.

Excerpt:
Raina
had a fleeting impression of dark hair spilling from beneath his hood before he
ducked his head and climbed up the side of the cab. She stepped back to let him
in, unfastened the catch-seam of her own parka and hung it on the hook behind
the driver’s seat.
She led the way into the small living quarters
that backed off the driver’s cabin. She felt awkward having him here. Gesturing
to the plasma screen set into one wall of her rig, she spoke over her shoulder,
babbling as she tried to cover her discomfort. “I can track six satellites, and
over four thousand channels. Used to be seven satellites, but I think an orbit
decayed.”
Her
companion made no reply. It appeared that he wasn’t interested in small talk.
Fine by her. She wasn’t particularly adept at it herself.
She
snatched a pile of microdisks off the plastitech chair, clutched them against
her chest, and looked around for somewhere to put them. The chair was the only
place to sit other than the bed, and she wasn’t about to offer him that. Hazarding a glance over her
shoulder, Raina checked just to make certain he was still there. Her breath
skidded to a stunned stop.
He
was right behind her, his tall frame a hand span away. Up close, with his hood
thrown back, the catch-seam of his parka undone, Wizard didn’t look helpless at
all. A day’s growth of beard shaded the chiseled plane of his jaw, and his full
lips were drawn into a hard line. He looked dangerous, self-assured,
frightening. Not a man who’d needed saving.
Hugging
the microdisks like a shield, Raina tipped her head back and met his eyes.
Slate gray. Cold. She swallowed. What the hell had she been thinking to bring
him here? He wasn’t some lost puppy who needed a warm place to sleep.
She blew
out a slow breath.
