He's as cold as the void of space... Soulless warrior Drex has been cast out of the Detyen Legion. Eking out an emotionless life on the edge of the galaxy, he knows his days are numbered. There's no future for a man who's already sacrificed everything. Then he rescues Pippa and his whole world is set ablaze. She can fix any machine, but can she fix him? Pippa knows all the secrets to the machines that keep Nebula Outpost floating in space, but Drex isn't so easy to figure out. But the more time she spends with him, the more she's eager to know. When tragedy strikes, Pippa and Drex are the only people who can solve the case. Every clue only leads to more questions, and even more danger. But Pippa can't walk away from the mystery... or from Drex. He might call himself soulless, but she sees the heat in his eyes. The only question is: will the conflagration burn them to cinders or ignite a bond that lasts a lifetime?
