Tryon Jag is an alpha male tyger, one of the few who possess the instincts to guide a ship safely through the deadly Cattarus system. Handsome, wealthy, and of royal blood, Jag controls his universe--and most of the females in it--as easily as he navigates the Orion.

With an eco-saboteur somewhere aboard, there couldn't be a worse time for him to lose his mind. For the sake of duty, Calla forces herself into Jag's lair. And finds herself blossoming into a true Tyger lily, a woman born to enchant a powerful beast. The only woman who can save Jag--and the entire crew--from certain annihilation. less
