Queen's Destiny (

A strange message from a kidnapped friend sends Charla, next in line to the throne of Anthea, away from home in search of answers on the dangerous and scintillating Space Station, Tantra 9. 'T9' is famous for illegal deeds, sexual slavery, and sales of everything unimaginable. But she gets too close to the truth and a sorceress from her own planet, an enemy, will take control of her mind and memories, redirecting her on another mission entirely...to track down and protect one of the most feared men from her home world, the bastard prince Padraic, pirate, rebel, and blood enemy.

Padraic Lonriev is on a mission of his own. His beloved younger sister was abducted by slavers, his niece murdered, and the Crown Sentinals in charge of their protection have both mysteriously vanished. He's determined to find his sister and her captors, and he has no time for a naive future queen, no matter how attractive or deadly. Trouble is, Charla is the only link he has to his missing sister. If he loses the trail now, he might never get her back. Now all he has to do is seduce the fierce female warrior without getting himself killed or worse...falling in love.
