Working alongside her childhood friend, Tarrel Dolan, Neela Pharr has been on security detail for the emissary of Elara for several years. The need for Prillian ore is greater than ever as tensions between outer worlds mount. After years of cultivating a relationship with King Thrax of Prill, diplomacy is collapsing and weapons are in play. But King Thrax thows out an offer: mining rights, in return for the use of Neela’s body.Sex is a simple, meaningless exchange right? Except Neela is torn between her long-time attraction to Tarrel, and her uninhibited desire for King Thrax. So when the king invites them both to his bed, is it really the fulfillment of a contract or something much, much more meaningful?
