Sinossi

Freedom fighter Jarrett Blake's escaping from prison after months of torture and solitary confinement, but his bid for freedom ends when his stolen ship crashes into a remote moon. He wakes to find himself with two broken legs and helpless in the care of Marc Satie, a technician stationed alone at an isolated monitoring station. Marc saved Jarrett's life, but was it an act of mercy or does he want to claim the reward on Jarrett's head? It's a big reward -- as Jarrett's the galaxy's most wanted terrorist.
Jarrett gradually recovers under Marc's care and seduces him, hoping Marc will never turn his lover over to the authorities. As time passes. Jarrett begins to think of it as more than a seduction. Marc is beautiful, gentle and kind and Jarrett's had none of those things in his life for a long time. 
But Marc has a secret and the exposure of it will show Jarrett he's been in more danger than he ever realized. Marc is not the man Jarrett thought he was. After the truth comes out, Marc proposes a daring plan. If it succeeds they can walk away together as free men. But they have very different ideas about where they're walking to.

He jumps at the chance, and, when he learns they aren't actually related, at the champ.

The Pirate's Treasure

Lisa Oliver

“I have watched you from afar for so long. ‘Tis only fitting, as I breathe my last, that I do it in the arms I’ve longed to feel around my person for two plus years or more.”
Rojan Purchanting, Pirate Captain, and half-brother to the King of Gunkermal didn’t mean to blurt out fateful words as he stumbled into Petrov after a disagreement with a knife. But the Goddess of the Moon and Sea works in mysterious ways. Rojan soon found Petrov following him out of castle windows, into houses of ill-repute, and riding beside him as they chase down the threats to Caspian and Nikolas, still bristling with the innate confidence and protectiveness that had caught Rojan’s eyes years before.
“I’m going to work on keeping the foolhardy man alive first. Anything else we’ll count as a bonus.”
Petrov, Duke of Moorland has been a confidant and friend to King Consort Nikolas for most of his life. He really didn’t need to be following around Caspian’s half-brother, hoping the fool man wouldn’t get himself into more trouble. But somehow, it quickly became all he wanted to do.
It’s the only thing left I can do.
Determined to keep Rojan safe by any means possible, Petrov decides the only way to do that is to enter into a Marriage Contract with him. But as the danger to Caspian and Nikolas gets closer to home, Petrov wonders if he’ll ever know the true Rojan Purchanting. Would he be pirate captain, prince, or king?
While most of the books in my Another Arranged Marriage series can be read as standalones, readers will understand more about the motives of the secondary characters and main plot points if they have read The Infidelity Clause first.
