He's all puppy charm, but he smiles like a wolf. Trust him? She'd have to be out of her mind.

All Sandy wanted was some R&R in Sydney before joining the Earth Ship Siren as head of Military Police. What she gets is a night of mystery and pleasure with a man so wickedly fascinating he can't possibly be law-abiding.

For professional con man Peter Stanton, Master Sergeant Alanna Sanderson, with her kick-ass body and cool blue eyes, is the most fun he's ever had. Eight months later, on the Siren, he gets to meet her again, but now he's Prisoner 141, and they're out among the stars, half way to the penal colony on Solitaire.

When a micrometeroid shower strikes the convoy, Sandy and Prisoner 141 are stranded on a stricken ship. Will he pull off the ultimate confidence trick and sacrifice Sandy for his freedom?

If only she could command her heart as easily as she wields her stun gun, because when he betrays her, as he surely must, she's going to have to kill him.

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.
