Prit is a thief by trade, dealing in retrieving or stealing items to sell in space. It helps that she has a bionic leg hiding weapons and a bionic eye that assesses the people around her. A miscalculation on her latest job finds her thrown in a cell with Saluk, a hulking and scarred gladiator. Saluk was taken from his home planet twenty years ago and forced to kill in the arena for the entertainment of others. He'd nearly given up hope of ever escaping until the tiny thief was thrown in his cell. She doesn't react the way he's come to expect from females. She cocks her hip and propositions him confusingly. Crammed into her small spaceship to escape, she is intrigued by the quiet and respectful warrior who's been through so much. Teasing him quickly becomes her favorite activity as they run from enemies, crash land on an ice planet, and start to develop feelings for each other.

In the end, can Prit hold up her end of the deal and just leave him on his home planet? Can Saluk watch her fly away from his life forever?
