Former elite Federation soldier, now turned space pirate, Jackson Burke has done his best to turn his life around - for the better. He isn't prepared when fate leaves a woman's safety totally in his hands. Since heroes don't leave a damsel in distress - and despite being outlaw pirates - the crew considers themselves the good guys, so Jackson assumes responsibility for the beauty.

It’s hard enough that his ship is held together by rust and sheer will, now he's got to keep this good-guy thing straight and not give in to the urges the sassy female brings out in him. Raisa is everything a man could want, and for some reason, she seems to like him, rough edges and all, but he's on the Federation's wanted list, and they aren't known to back down.
