Summary

Commander Sebastian Cole of the interstellar mercenary vessel Starrunner is a good man to have in a fight or in bed, but nobody ever accused him of being submissive. Then he's hired to go undercover as a Thrall—a male sub in a kingdom run by female dominants. His mission: to rescue a kidnapped prince from a queen who has sworn to enslave him. Sebastian's not looking forward to it, but the money's good, and anyway, there's nothing wrong with a little muff-munching between friends.

Domina Zaria Orva comes from a long, illustrious line of female dominants. Too bad all her fantasies revolve around being tied up instead of doing the tying. Still, for years she's managed to keep her submissive yearnings under wraps, hidden from her royal mother and vicious bitch of a sister.

But when Zaria finds herself the proud owner of Sebastian, she will have to find the courage to go after what she really wants. And Sebastian, well, he has to stop playing the game long enough to both rescue the prince and get the girl.
