In the erotic universe created by hot new talent Lauren Dane, passion knows no rank.

Fifteen Families rule the Federated Universes - and Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. She's always been too driven to pay much attention to love. But when she meets Roman Lyons, Head of House Lyons, who stands for everything she hates, Abbie's attraction catches her off-guard.

Their world, Ravena, revolves around born leader Roman, who dreads meeting this defiant - if stunning - rabble-rouser. But sometimes headstrong personalities that collide in public become hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private.
