Can a shape-shifting, alien space pirate tame a Phantom Warrior woman who can sprout her own claws? Captain Hawk has searched solar systems for a female shapeshifter. As a Slaver, he knows they fetch the highest price, but Hawk isn't looking for a shifter to sell. He wants one for himself, wants one for the beast lurking inside of him. The last thing he expects is to have a female given to him. Phantom Warrior Opal never thought she'd find herself enslaved by a ruthlessly handsome shifter. As the Dark King's right hand, she'd sworn to protect the Phantom people and their ruler, even if that meant protecting the King from himself. Her jealousy and misguided actions caused her to lose her position, her people, her home—everything. Now Opal has to contend with a sexy Slaver who's determined to tame her, but this feline has claws and she isn't going down without a fight.
