Months ago, General Anton Coridian was betrayed. Worse than watching his men slaughtered, he was captured and tortured. He would have died if his ex-fiancé and current sister-in-law hadn't rescued him. Now, he's off on one last mission--to find his sister-in-law's twin sister. Only after that debt is repaid will he allow the darkness eating at his soul to consume him.Lara Danexx grew up a slave in the cruel Slavarien world. She's been degraded, raped and beaten but the worst torture was thinking her family had thrown her away. She survived by never giving in and has even managed to escape her master. The two year of freedom she's enjoyed has made her more determined to end slavery once and for all.Anton's presence provides an opportunity to do just that, even if she has to manipulate him to do it. Anton can't believe he'd find a life mate in Lara just as he was ready to give up on everything. The two warriors were always willing to die for the cause and their enemies are willing to oblige, after a little torture. It's easy to fight when you have nothing to lose, but are they brave enough to love and risk finding something to live for?Centauri Twilight is a great addition to the Ms. Woolf's series. The villains are sadistically evil. Lara, who's been through so much, is strong with just a hint of vulnerability that makes her a dedicated leader. Anton's a wounded warrior who recognizes his kindred spirit in Lara. Both need to defeat this enemy so they can finally be free of their past. If you're looking for the perfect underdog story, look no further than Centauri Twilight.
