Fans of Morgan Hawke’s futuristic erotic romance will love the second book in the Across the Stars series by India Masters!

“A fun, exciting, touching, and erotic story!” —Goodreads

Ilara Depherra grew up on the streets of Toru City, the victim of a corrupt child welfare system that did little to protect the children in its care. Now tending to the children of the dark city herself, Ilara teaches them the skills they’ll need to survive and hides them from the vile men who would enslave them. But when she’s targeted by a crooked official who will stop at nothing to control her, she’ll need the protection of a man who stirs her heart like no one has before.

Kei Rewu is an arena gladiator of intergalactic renown, but he’s been burned by unfaithful lovers too many times and has sworn off relationships for good. When Ilara turns to him for help and ignites a passion he’d all but given up on, he’s forced to confront his fear and betray the system that has made him a star. Surrendering to the undeniable sensual attraction that sears them both, Kei and Illara will have to risk everything they hold dear to find a love that will save them both.

This is a fully revised edition of a book originally published as The Gladiator and the Thief.
