Too Close to the Sun

On the riskiest mission of his career, Colonel Nicoli Romanof has allowed his life essence to be separated from his physical form in order to draw the Harvesters - a deadly race of aliens - into a trap. And they've taken the bait - his lifeless body. Now with his life essence merged into his ship's computer, Nicoli must follow the tracking beacon embedded in his body to the Harvesters' home planet. Once there, he will reunite with his body and destroy the entire race of aliens - or die trying. Hunted and on the run, galactic smuggler Angel Torrence steals a ship to escape capture, not realizing until too late that the ship's computer, not she, is in control. Its disembodied voice - sounding arrogant and oddly male - blares out of the Icarus' control panel, ordering her to set a course for the most perilous planet in the known universe. Angel has no choice but to go along with the Colonel's plans - and wait for an opportunity to escape. But she never expected the colonel's physique to be so magnificent or his heart to be so courageous. For the first time in her life, she might be falling in love. Too bad he thinks she's a boy. She's going to tell him the truth - just as soon as she retrieves his body from the Harvesters, restore his life essence and helps him complete his mission. What can go wrong?
