description:  Rescued from alien slavers the only place she feels safe is in the brawny arms of a big gruff cyborg... Astrophysicist Dr. Jayna Lennox's life imploded the day her ship was attacked by aliens. Through months of captivity she's survived by shutting down and not feeling. Then she's freed by the House of Rone cyborgs and finds herself in the arms of huge tough Mace. Struggling to heal Mace is the only thing that makes her feel safe. The only person who makes her feel like she isn't broken. But there are more of her crew members imprisoned in Carthago's desert and Jayna will have to delve into her darkest memories to help save them! Born to fight and bred for rage Mace barely survived his gang-ridden homeworld. Thanks to Imperator Magnus Rone he's found a place at the House of Rone. Unlike the other cyborgs he feels but only anger and annoyance. When a small wounded human woman works her way under his skin Mace finds himself feeling things he's never felt before... along with a powerful need to keep her safe! Jayna vows to help find her fellow humans even if it means revisiting her nightmares and being part of a dangerous mission into the desert. But as the passion between her and Mace explodes she finds herself with two battles on her hands: the battle to free the humans from their captors and the war to win Mace's scarred heart!
