* * Book 2 in the award-winning Soldiers of Fortune science fiction series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jenna Bennett * * To save himself, his friends, and his mission, a fugitive must put his fate in the hands of the last women he should trust - the same woman who sent him to prison four months ago. Last year, galactic translator Holden Sinclair had a great life. He was traveling the nexus with his friends, seeing new worlds, making money, and generally having a good time. The only cloud on his horizon was his unrequited crush on the captain's girlfriend, but that matter resolved itself when she betrayed them to the Rhenians and they were shipped to the prison camp on the moon Marica-3. Since then, Holden's only thoughts regarding Josie have revolved around getting even. Or so he thinks, until he runs into her again, in a brothel in Calvados. She's disillusioned, contrite, and still as desirable as ever. And all too soon Holden finds himself right back where he started: torn between his loyalty to Quinn and the crew of the Good Fortune, and his feelings for Josie. But with prices on all their heads, their mechanic scheduled for public execution in the Calvados town square two days hence, and the Rhenian military drawing the net ever tighter around them... can he justify putting his trust in a woman who's already betrayed them once? Can he risk the consequences of reintroducing her into their lives? And above all, can he stop his friends from killing her on sight?
