Our heroine uses all her courage and negotiating skills to save the hostages. The situation quickly turns frightening when rebels sabotage the proceedings and our leads and their fellow delegates are captured. Can such battling wits broker peace? When they meet the alien ambassadors, our hero and heroine must deal with everyone from vicious warriors to ethereal tree-people to cantankerous blobs, each group with its own agenda. But her cool disdain frustrates him, and the two clash heatedly as they fly across space to their mission. Our hero is intrigued by this lovely but prim diplomat, who's nothing like the countless hot alien babes he's wooed in the past. But once they meet, she's torn between disapproval of his reckless ways and a powerful, but secret, attraction.

Her goal is to negotiate peace among several warring races - and she fears our notorious hero won't take the mission seriously. But this diplomat is our gorgeous heroine, famed throughout the galaxy for her wisdom and ability to soothe even the most brutish aliens.

Naturally, when such a fun-loving rogue is assigned to escort a famously demanding diplomat on a mission of peace, he's less than enthusiastic.
