From the Inside Flap

A peek inside Paul's Pursuit."Oh hell," she muttered before she swung around and wrapped her arms around Paul's neck, dragging him into a nearby alcove. "Kiss me again," she demanded breathlessly.Paul didn't need a second invitation. He dropped his duffle bag onto the floor, kicking it to one side as he wrapped his arms around Morian's slender waist. His lips crushed down on hers again, meeting her halfway as they devoured each other. His hungry groan echoed hers as he ground his hips against hers to let her know that he was just as affected as she was to the chemistry igniting between them. His left hand moved up her back until it reached her hair. With a few quick moves, it tumbled down her back in a silky wave. He wound his fingers through it preventing her from pulling away from him as he deepened the kiss.Morian's throaty moans turned to gasps as his lips left hers to travel along her jaw, down to her neck. She cried out when he nipped her throat before running his tongue soothingly along it as she exposed more to him. Her fingers tangled frantically in his short hair trying to pull him closer.

From the Back Cover

"I studied you," Paul said bluntly. "I trained with the warriors on the V'ager. And, I did my research. Right now, all of you would be dead if this was a real battle. That is unacceptable to me."Zoran snarled and took a menacing step closer to Paul. "If this had been a real battle, I would have gutted you already," he growled, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
