Winner of the 2012 InD'Tale RONE Award for novella/short storyBound by pleasure...Transformed by empathic crystals into the perfect paramour, Benedetta Galil is the last treasure of her fading world. When raiders attack-seeking to corrupt the crystals and conquer all of charted space-she gives herself as a prize to the one man in the universe who values freedom over power.Bound for the black...Mercenary sheership Captain Corso Deynah left oppression behind him on a burning planet and has no use for a sex slave, even one as seductive as Benedetta. But while he stubbornly resists her body, her fierce spirit tempts him, and he will risk everything-his ship, his seclusion, the very stars-to win not just her passion but her love."Sexy, steamy, and action packed, this novella will knock you off your feet! The fantastic Jessa Slade masterfully weaves romance and action into the lives of Corso and Benedetta--and pulls it off with a flourish!"-- Bitten By Love Reviews"ENSLAVED BY STARLIGHT is a truly wonderful reading experience. Jessa packed more story into this novella than I've read in some full-length novels. I highly recommend this novella for anyone who has enjoyed science fiction romance in the past or would like to experience it for the first time now."-- Unwrapping Romance
