Description:
She came to collect a bounty. The universe had other plans for her.
In the lawless sprawl of Malpressor City, a smugglers' metropolis built from stolen shipping containers on a forgotten planet, Cajun Moon is a woman carving her own path. A smuggler by trade and all woman by nature, she's taken on a bounty hunter job too lucrative to refuse. Armed with Qua Lasers on her hips and a sharp survival instinct honed across the galaxy, she sets out to track down Pellinore Fromp and collect the payday that could change her life forever.
But when the job goes catastrophically sideways, Cajun finds herself stripped of everything: her ship, her freedom, her name. Sold into the sexual slavery trade aboard a pleasure cruiser that prowls the stars, she is fitted with a compliance chip that bends her will to the demands of strangers. Every act of defiance is punished. Every spark of resistance is crushed. In the darkest corners of the galaxy, no one is coming to save her.
No one except herself. When a violent encounter shatters the chip's hold on her, Cajun must play the obedient captive while secretly plotting an escape that could free not just herself but every slave on board. One wrong move means death. One moment of hesitation means a lifetime in chains. In Cajun Moon, freedom is never given. It is taken.
