If there's one thing ErthSec agent Tryla Numidia hates worse than having a partner, it's working with the notoriously male chauvinistic Vhrazhians. But when the Vhrazhian Ambassador disappears, Tryla is forced to accept help from Vharhin, one of their notorious VISS agents.

Vharhin's arrogant attitude and devastating good looks make for an explosive package, especially when you throw in his male pheromones which are designed to keep females pliant and constantly aroused.

It's a battle of wills as the unlikely duo races to find the diplomat and avert an intergalactic war. Nothing is as it seems, including Vharhin. Can Tryla fight the overwhelming submissive urges unleashed by Vharhin's dominant chemistry…or will she find herself reduced to a mere plaything, panting at the feet of a powerful alien?
