Author Description

Forbidden to express emotions, clone Angelo Thirteen longs to escape Earth and experience one feeling above all others--love. The terraforming planet Iridis offers hope, but before he arrives disaster strikes, and he finds himself lost in the cold reaches of space with a limited supply of oxygen and his deepest fear--loneliness--to keep him company, that is, until a tenacious, young Altonian woman crashes into his life. Elle cares about two things in the universe--her ship and her brother. When her sibling is imprisoned on her savage ice world, she races along the interstellar trade route to obtain a rare shipment of coveted numitite crystals to pay his exorbitant fine. Along the way she encounters an escape pod with a sexy human man aboard, one determined to rock her well-ordered life and open her eyes to possibilities she never imagined.
