Book Two of the award-winning series, THE PHOENIX ADVENTURES. He lost it all: his career, his woman, his sanity. On a deadly mission to the lawless Devil's Nebula, Commander Zayn Phoenix's life imploded. Now the former Strike Wing pilot fills his days with dangerous adventures alongside his treasure hunter brothers. But his nights are haunted by nightmares of one unforgivable act. Then a sexy assassin lures him into a hunt, an assassin with the face of a dead woman. Ria Dante wants her freedom from the Assassin's Guild and only one man can help her. A man she's been dreaming about for months. She needs the oh-so-sexy Zayn--but she never expected to feel so drawn to him. Or to lust after his lean, muscled body and charming grin. Zayn and Ria embark on a perilous adventure for an ancient artifact used in an infamous assassination--of old Earth president, Abraham Lincoln. An adventure that will take them straight into the heart of the Devil's Nebula, and force them both to face the heart-wrenching ghosts of their pasts. Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think explosions, aliens and assassin droids), cool offsiders (a teenaged bomb expert and some sexy treasure hunting brothers) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a charming ex-fighter pilot and a deadly assassin). This is treasure hunting sci-fi style. So if you like it fast, and fun, and sexy, this is for you!

Ed Carew and his small ragtag crew are smugglers and ne’er-do- wells, thumbing their noses at the Expansion, the vast human hegemony extending across thousands of worlds... until the day they are caught, and offered a choice between working for the Expansion and an ignominious death. They must trespass across the domain of humanity’s neighbours, the Vetch – the inscrutable alien race with whom humanity has warred, at terrible cost of life, and only recently arrived at an uneasy peace – and into uncharted space beyond, among the strange worlds of the Devil’s Nebula, looking for long-lost settlers. A new evil threatens not only the Expansion itself, but the Vetch as well. In the long run, the survival of both races may depend on their ability to lay aside their differences and co-operate.

Dr. Eos Rai has spent a lifetime dedicated to her mother's dream of finding the long-lost Mona Lisa. When Eos uncovers tantalizing evidence of Star's End—the last known location of the masterpiece—she's shocked when her employer, the Galactic Institute of Historic Preservation, refuses to back her expedition.
