In the far distant future, the universe is officially ruled by the Royal Consortium, but the High Councillors, the heads of the three High Houses, wield the true power. As the fifth of six children, Ada von Hasenberg has no authority; her only value to her High House is as a pawn in a political marriage.

The spirited princess flees before the betrothal ceremony and disappears among the stars. Ada eluded her father’s forces for two years, but now her luck has run out. To ensure she cannot escape again, the fiery princess is thrown into a prison cell with Marcus Loch.

Her only hope is to strike a deal with the dangerous fugitive: a fortune if he helps her escape.But when you make a deal with an irresistibly attractive Devil, you may lose more than you bargained for . . .

I was really hopeful and I was disappointed. The book was 5 star material until the 45% mark where I just lost focus, I didn't care anymore. I like the characters and the romance. At least at first because after a certain point, I just didn't care anymore.... So Ada is running from her father, who is the head of one of the most powerful house in the universe. She doesn't want to marry the guy her father has picked out for her. But after 2 years on the run, she get captured and has to use the help of a war criminal, Loch, to escape being caught in her fiance's clutches. I really don't know why it didn't work out.
