Synopsis (Goodreads):
Nella of Ariel is on the run, finding herself on Bor Narga, alone, penniless, friendless. She can trust no one—except the tall, amazing man who saves her from death by assassin bot and carries her off to his hideaway.

He's a Shareem, he says. Rio. Level three, which means dark and dangerous pleasures.

Nella has no clue what Shareem are, but Rio is enticing, sexual, rude, crude, and makes her laugh. He also burns fire through her blood as he teaches her to trust him, the only way a level-three Shareem knows how to . . .

Rio had been on his way to get himself off stifling Bor Narga, where he lives as a near-slave. But he's intrigued by his damsel in distress. And she needs his protection. Protecting her and teaching her is worth missing his transport, and maybe being stuck on this rock forever.

Not for readers under eighteen, or for the faint of heart. Adult situations and language, brief mfm, and other fun stuff, plus lots of humor and romance.
Thoughts on Rio: It's Rio's turn to find his special someone. You know, by breaking the rules and falling for someone even though Shareem aren't supposed to have those sort of emotions. Pfft. Right. ALL the Shareem we've met might be able to control their emotions, but they're definitely brimming with them.

Which works well for Nella since she needs someone like Rio on her side. Not just because he knows what she wants, but also because he loves her for her. Not for her wealth or her status or anything like that.

By that same token, Nella SEES Rio and she likes everything she sees. They're a good foil for one another and they're DAMN SEXY finding themselves as they fall.

Shareem, man. They certainly know how to spice things up. In every way.
