nCrulden the Ruiner is the most dangerous gladiator in the galaxy. nI'm his clone - equally ugly, equally dangerous, and just as feared. I'm also being held captive, since no one trusts a creature like me to be let loose. n nA curvy, determined human named Bee doesn't think I'm a creature, though. In fact, she thinks I just need a guide.

She's got half the males on this planet eating out of her hand, and she's confident she can do the same with me. n nThe managing little female has no idea what she's in for. I'm not some fool to be led around by my tail. But...the champion in me loves a challenge. n nA champion also wants to win a prize.

So I tell Bee I'll go along with her plans if she kisses me...right on my tusk-filled mouth. n nI never expected her to say yes...n
