Catching Her Balance

(Part of the Korrlonian Chronicles series)

Jenna Markkus’s exquisite, genetically engineered face and form conceals a lifetime of pain. Beloved of her Papa? No. Tool used in pursuit of her Papa’s rise to power? Yes. But enough is enough. Derrick Vittalar is her first, best hope for a life free of servitude and cruelty. All she needs to do is catch his eye.

Derrick Vittalar has no expectation that this political conference will be any different than the umpteen ones he’s endured before. Speeches, conferences, and occasional sport with a comely girl can’t be all there is to his life.

Indeed, no. Change arrives in the form of an intergalactic coup announced by his abduction. Thrown together by mischance and conspiracy, Derrick and Jenna find a way to thwart the rebellion, repel an invading army, and fall in love.
