title: Mercenary's Reward
author: Snow, Stephanie
description: In the aftermath of the war that struck her planet, Mieli dreams of a better life. When the enemy soldier Jai crash lands in the remote forest where she hides, she seizes the opportunity to save his life and gain his trust. She'll do anything for his help, and one night of raw passion is all it takes to convince him she's worth the effort. Jai will stop at nothing to secure her freedom, and even barters his own body for her safe passage. But demons from his past must be faced, and he leaves Mieli behind in his quest for vengeance.
  
  Mieli never expected to fall for the mercenary, or to regret seeing him leave. Now, with the life she wanted so much a reality, Mieli realizes the only life that matters is one that includes Jai. Without any way of finding him, and no idea of his feelings, she can only wait. She knows that when he does return, she's ready to show him why he'll never be able to leave her behind again.
