Shelbi MacPhadden is an elite warrior and a liaison officer for distant worlds. She enjoys her adventurous career and the sensuous encounters she has with those who inhabit the far-flung reaches of space.
Sent out into a new galaxy, just recently discovered, she lands on the hot and arid planet of Tresed and encounters a group who survive amidst the harshness of their desert surroundings.
Among them is Lance Hopkins, a wealthy businessman with a sumptuous home. Shelbi is immediately attracted to him and something is rekindled in Lance, who has not been in a physical relationship since his wife was tragically killed.
As the two get to know one another, Lance suggests that she participates in a game of the local sport of Z0-Zo ball while Shelbi fantasises about what she will allow Lance to do to her once the game is over. But in the background a sinister enemy plots to have Lance eliminated once and for all.
In the heat of the desert planet it's not just the temperature that's rising. Can Shelbi manage to juggle all her obligations, win the game, save the day and still get her man into bed?
