Outer-Rim Rescue, a Novella

Sometimes the strong find each other in unlikely places.

When ex-cop Jane Mwanda is hired by a powerful woman to retrieve her runaway daughter, she tracks the girl to a planet controlled by the notorious Rell Syndicate, where she's promptly locked up by sexy henchman Tian Wei. The good news? Jane's pretty sure the girl she's been sent to rescue is in the same facility. The bad news? They're both a hair's breadth away from being sex-trafficked. Jane doesn't know what to think when Tian Wei liberates them, considering she'd written him off as syndicate scum. She'll need his help if she expects to keep the girl safe and escape the Outer Rim, where violence is currency and everyone is on the take. Problem is, she has no idea if she can trust him.
