Hot Restart - Paperback

by Elliott Kay (Author)

Riley Morgan desperately needs a reset on his life. Pit fights with aliens and illegal salvage jobs are barely enough to get by-until a salvage op turns up a beautiful stranger in a stasis pod and a clear case of kidnapping. Helping her means throwing away what's left of his life. The trouble only gets deeper when the stranger turns out to be a wildly illegal artificial intelligence built for assassination.

Like Riley, Selene has been used and abused by her bosses... and like Riley, she longs for a life of her own choosing. Riley and Selene are ready for the struggle ahead. They aren't ready for the dangerous and sexy aliens in their way, or the glitzy parties and corporate conspiracies, and they certainly aren't ready for the spark between one another.
