"Hot, hot hot!"

Trinity Yeager was eager to get off of the repressive planet Raptures' Colony before her rapidly approaching twenty- fifth birthday. That is when the colony elders are going to auction her off to the highest bidder.

With that in mind Trinity enters the bar where none of the elders would ever be caught in and has the hopes of hiring on with a mercenary. She soon spies two guys: Nathan August who is dark, hot with amazing blue eyes who is the captain of the Starrunner and his longtime friend Sebastian Cole who was the opposite of Nathan in looks with long blonde hair. She decides they would be her best bet to get off of Raptures' Colony and approaches them.

Nathan is taken aback when Trinity offers her services as a mercenary. He doesn't believe for one second that she was strong enough to handle becoming a mercenary and tries to put her off by saying the only job he has for her is in his bed.

Trinity agrees to become the love slave for Nathan and Sebastian. Although Nathan and Sebastian believe she will back out as soon as she realises what they have in mind for the sexy redhead.

Nathan August and Sebastian Cole are extremely hot and gorgeous and I just hope to see Sebastian meet his match someday.

Summary

Trinity Yeager faces an unhappy life on a colony of religious zealots who make the Taliban look conservative. Her only chance for happiness is to convince a mercenary starship captain to accept her as a member of his crew, giving her the transport off-world she needs.

But Captain Nathan August is skeptical that Trin's situation is as bad as she claims. He decides to test her. The only position available, he tells her, is that of his sexual toy. He expects her to back down, but Trin calls his bluff—even when he tells her his first officer will join him on the "test drive."

Trin, Nathan and first officer Sebastian Cole all get a ride they'll never forget. But just how far are they willing to go?
