…and sometimes it does not.
Shall we try this back cover copy business again? Here it is—
Abducted into interplanetary slavery.
Layla is pregnant, frightened, and very alone, imprisoned on a slave ship speeding away from Earth…alone, that is, until a mysterious young man named Angel drops into her prison cell from an air duct.
To keep hope alive, Layla and Angel decide to be a team of two. They promise each other they will survive, they will reunite, and they will go home, back to Earth.
But how can they keep their promises when, almost immediately, both are sold as slaves?
Layla is purchased by Velin LeTour, the Federation’s Guardian assigned to the slave ship. It was either that or the auction block.
And Angel, deemed too wild, is slated for termination. But at the last possible moment, he is handed over to a troupe of Sky Dancers from a faraway planet, entertainers who travel throughout the galaxy.
Both Layla and Angel have survived.
