Princess Pain

Marina is a hot-looking, cold-hearted courier of contraband who has a chip on her shoulder she shares with everyone who crosses her path. Her life as a loner is just fine until the delivery of a data chip ends her alias and makes her the target of a power-hungry warlord who wants her alive, while his sultry assassin lover wants her dead. The action-filled chase across the sector with two unlikely allies leads her to discover a secret that changes everything she ever stood for. Nothing is easy with Marina as she drives everyone crazy with her anger-driven arrogance and stubborn disposition.
