Please update book description

[Scott]

I've changed the description for my book Pale Boundaries. The updated description should be used as the default description for all editions, as the original one is no longer in use. The new description is below. Thank you!


A REFUGEE WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER
Caught transporting illicit cargo in Algran Asta’s harsh outback, pilot Terson Reilly is deported from the only home he’s ever known to an affluent but intolerant colony on Nivia. Shaped by life in a rough frontier, his temperament and upbringing collide with insular colonists that consider his mere presence a threat to their carefully curated society.

Terson finds a soulmate in Virene, an irreverent young woman chafing under the restrictive social demands. As they struggle to conform, circumstances draw them beyond the colony’s boundaries where they unwittingly set off a chain of events that threatens to expose Nivia’s dark secrets—secrets that both the government and a powerful criminal organization will do anything to protect. Are Terson’s skills and instincts from his previous life enough to save them?

HEIR-APPARENT TO AN INTERPLANETARY CRIME SYNDICATE
Halsor Tennison only came to Nivia to get business back on track after an accident destroyed an entire quarter’s worth of production. It isn’t long before he realizes that the event was no accident and that a pair of witnesses could lead authorities to the Family’s operation. Hal must identify the saboteur, interrogate and quietly dispose of the witnesses before that happens.

Only the saboteur might be a woman he’s falling in love with, and one of the witnesses is more adept at protecting himself than expected. As events spiral out of control, Hal must complete his mission while defending his position within the syndicate. Can he do it without sacrificing his new-found love?
