About this ebook

There’s no place like home . . . and he just confiscated hers.

Forced to use her starship as collateral to replace stolen cargo, pilot Celara d’Enfaden risks losing everything if she fails to deliver the goods. Her ship is the home she never had as a child.

Determined to bring order to the frontier, rule-bound official Trevarr Jovano refuses to tolerate those who disrespect the law. So when an indie pilot refuses to obey, he seizes her ship and cargo.

The only thing Celara cares about more than her ship is her brother. To rescue him from the clutches of a galactic gangster, she’ll even join forces with Trevarr who is bent on avenging his wife’s murder.

    I have now read all of Diane's outer rim and switched books. Like the rest, this is a fun and very satisfying tale with likable characters, nasty villains and just the right amount of steam. I hope she revisits the outer rim in future books.
