    About this audiobook

    Domination. Desire. Destiny.

    He rules a future in which women are helpless, obedient, and always willing. She comes from a past in which a woman's strength, brains, and courage are unquestioned. The challenge between them is timeless.

    Secret Service agent Tessa Camen took a bullet meant for the president. She regains consciousness three hundred years in the future on a spaceship, naked in the arms of Kahn, a fierce warlord from the planet Rystan. He's been expecting her. Tessa was whisked forward in time because her fighting abilities include a psychic talent like none other. Only she can defeat an enemy who threatens Earth. The fate of her home hangs in the balance. Once again, she's called on to serve and protect her nation.

    In Kahn's world, women are meant to be ruled but also protected. He can seduce Tessa, but can he own her heart and mind? Can he put aside his beliefs about women to help her train for a brutal intergalactic test, The Challenge? If she loses, so does Earth.

    Tessa and Kahn are caught in a war of wills set in a future where survival is a skill, power is an aphrodisiac, and love is a challenge that could destroy everything they cherish.

    Susan Kearney

    Susan Kearney used to set fire to herself four times a day. Now she does something really hot — she writes romantic suspense for Silhouette Intrigue. While she hasn't performed her signature fire dive from a 10-metre platform in years, she started diving at age 10. By age 12, she'd won the New Jersey State Championship, and by college, she was a three-time All-American Diver. While attending the University of Michigan, she earned a business degree that led to her diverse careers as, variously, a partner in a barter business, a real estate appraiser, a mover and renovator of houses, and owner of three hair salons. Finally, in 1995, she sold her first book and became a full-time writer. She's currently plotting her way through her 14th novel. Of all her careers, her favourite is wife and mother. She married her teenage sweetheart and lives with her husband, two children, and Boston terrier in sunny Florida. She now beats the heat not by diving into cold water, but with her new hobby — figure skating. Susan also enjoys writing science fiction, screenwriting, boating, and travelling to foreign countries.

      Most definitely nice I was not expecting to be this good honestly
    • 4/5
      This is an action filled book with some believable moments with a lot of adult scenes.
    • 1/5
      God awful. The narrator sound like a child with a lisp and a cold. It was so distracting and unpleasant I could not get through the second chapter before I gave up.
    • 4/5
      The start was stark but well worth working through. Pay attention to the details. Kahn’ growth was impressive but took time. This has a marriage of convenience that you don’t see much in sci fi. The cultural clash and adaptation was fairly good. Looking forward to Dora’s book next.
    • 1/5
      Horrible premise and all around bad story. Unlikable characters without any romance, just physical attraction. DNF at 41% - so I really tried, but I nearly threw my phone a dozen times, it's just not worth it.
    • 3/5
      Allie Piper's voice is irritating. Too whiney. Needs another reader.
