What the drak was it about this woman?

She was trouble. Corsair knew that in his bones. He’d been born and raised in the desert, and he’d been running his own caravan for years. He’d learned to predict trouble at a very young age. When a smudge on the horizon would turn into a sandstorm. What passengers to take, and which ones to turn away. Which routes to travel, and which ones to avoid at all costs.

And yet, he was still drawn to Neve like a desert fly to a campfire.

“Did you find anything during your snooping?” he asked.

She glared at him with pale-green eyes. “No. To everyone, Zaabha’s just a myth.” Annoyance rode her tone, and she looked away.

Corsair frowned, studying the curve of her jaw, and the sharp blade of her nose. Usually, he preferred curvy, smiling women. Easy women, who came to his bed and left when he asked them to. Not edgy, dangerous, and surly.

“Come on.” He nudged Neve with his elbow. “I’ll walk you back to the House of Galen.”

She pulled away from him. “I’m not ready to go back. I need to find my sister.”

“Galen’s looking for Zaabha, Neve, and he has more resources than you do. You know how hard he’s working to rescue your sister, along with Dayna and Sam.”

“Not fast enough,” she grumbled.

“You think you can do better?”

“I have to do something.” There was a flash of pain in her eyes.

Drak. “I’ve been asking around. I might have a lead.”

She spun, her gaze narrowing. They were on the edge of the crowd, near the entrance to an empty tunnel.

“When I know more, I’ll tell you—”

Suddenly, she leaped on him, catching him by surprise. She rode him to the ground and Corsair hit the stone floor hard, the air rushing out of him.

Her knees dug into his sides. “What do you know? Where is it?”

He pushed up, and they rolled across the floor. She cursed, and all he felt was that sleek body pressed against his. She was all strength and agility that he found insanely attractive.

She tried to knee him in the balls, but he deflected, and they rolled again. He ended up beneath her once more.

And really, he didn’t mind it all that much.

“Where. Is. Zaabha?” she demanded.

“I don’t know, Neve. I said I have a potential lead. I didn’t want to get your hopes up until I checked it out.”

“Until we check it out.”

“No. It was from a desert trader. The desert is my terrain, not yours. You’ll scare off my informants in about half a stellar second.”

“It’s my sister who’s lost out there, not yours.”

All of a sudden, she was jerked off him.

Corsair looked up to see the big shape of Bren, his right-hand man, standing there, holding Neve by the back of her shirt.

She made a snarling noise, kicking her legs to try to get free.

But Bren was all solid strength, and held her with ease. Corsair jumped to his feet. Beyond Bren, Mersi—his right-hand woman—watched them all with a smile.
