Publisher Description
Mercenary Captain Torin Covell needs a man who knows his way around a cockpit. Ace pilot Rain needs to get the hell off-planet. Thrown together by chance, the two men form a wary partnership.
Torin has every intention of dumping Rain at the next moon, despite his intense attraction to the hotshot. In his line of work he can't afford to trust anyone, especially someone as infuriatingly charming and naïve as Rain. But first, he's got a mission to complete.
What Rain wants, Rain gets. And what he wants is Torin, any way he can get him. The gorgeous captain isn't making it easy, and the two are quickly embroiled in an erotic battle for supremacy. But when Rain discovers that he's not the only one in pursuit of Torin, he demands to know exactly what sort of "job" he's signed on for...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sutherland begins her Crux Ansata series with a gay, erotic science fantasy romance that's implausible on every level. World-weary pirate captain Torin hires Rain, an astrophobic pilot, to steer his ship on a dangerous secret adventure. The young pilot proves his worth among the tight-knit crew of misfits is there any other kind? but also infuriates the captain with his blend of idealistic na vet and flirtatiousness. The two men lock lips and hips soon enough, wielding their genitals like swords through a couple of rough sex scenes jarred by Torin's thoughts and feelings, which lack an authentically male flavor. Colloquial accents and the occasional racist comment directed at ebony-dark Torin are straight out of the American South, and their incongruity in deep space adds to the head-spinning feel.
