title: Bride of the Pryde
author: Knight, Dee S.
description: DAT agent Susan McAllister escapes Earth with killers in hot pursuit. She normally runs toward danger, not away, and she likes controlling her own fate, not relying on three strange men and an irreverent cyberbot. Skilled and experienced, she doesn't believe there's any way the three crewmen of the cargo ship Erik's Pryde can help her. Captain John Erik thinks the sexy, headstrong passenger is nothing but trouble, but he also knows she needs help. And not being men to shrink from adventure, he's convinced that he and his crew are the ones to provide it. When they're infected by an illegal drug that releases inhibitions, the crew of the Pryde shows they are men who not only can fight but can satisfy a woman's every fantasy. It's no surprise when Susan discovers that being a member of the Pryde's crew has unexpected, lasting benefits. Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among the men.
