A man more potent than any drug.

It's 2202 and on board ES Siren, the brilliant Doctor Lily Kwan has worked in secret to develop an antidote for the aphrodisiac rape drug, sexmeth.

She'd be overjoyed if it wasn't for an embarrassing problem: the antidote has no effect on her extraordinary reaction to Connor Madison, the Siren's tough quartermaster. Scientifically, it should be impossible, but the man's a raging fever in her blood. If a single dark glance sets Lily on fire, a kiss might kill her dead – but what a way to go!

A former gang rat from the slums of a dying world, Con came up the hard way, so when geeky Doctor Kwan tops his hit list of possible drug runners, nothing's going to save her—not her family's money, nor her clever mind.

Not even the smile in her eyes.

When Denise Rossetti was very small, she had an aunt who would tell her the most wonderful fairy tales – all original. She grew up, as little girls do, but the magic of story still dazzles and enthralls her. In person, she's small and noisy and tends to wave her hands around a lot, which can be unfortunate if the tale she's telling happens to have explosions in it!

Reviewers describe Denise's books as "darkly intense, warmly romantic, and blazingly erotic". She's a proud recipient of the Australian Romance Readers Association award for Best Erotic Romance and a two time winner of the Passionate Plume award from Romance Writers of America.

Denise is currently obsessed with knitting socks and learning maths. She's much better at one than the other.
