Lost with a Barbarian in Space

Agent Honor Brandall thrives on Institute of Historical Preservation expeditions, guarding archaeologists as they recover ancient artifacts from old Earth.

Tall, strong, and proven in a fight, she is used to unnerving most men—until a mission to a barbarian world pairs her with Markarian warrior Colm Mal Kor.

Second-in-command to his warlord, Colm lives by hard-won control and loyalty to his clan while concealing a deadly secret he will not share.

On Markaria's icy moons, the freeze cannot blunt the attraction that flares between them and threatens the restraint he cannot afford to lose.

When the expedition turns lethal, they must rely on each other to survive, even though the truth Colm hides could destroy them all.
