After all, Praxton women wear collars to mark their male guardians, don cuffs and provocative clothing, and embrace a lifestyle that the Alliance condemns as deviant.But what Terri finds beyond the glitzy tourist zone defies her expectations. In the heart of Praxton, women live under strict customs of discipline and devotion—yet they are content, even fulfilled. To blend in, Terri trades her conservative identity for daring attire and soon discovers a world where passion, sensuality, and freedom of choice take on very different meanings.As her mission deepens, Terri must confront a dangerous dilemma: remain loyal to the Alliance that sent her, or embrace the intoxicating allure of Praxton—along with the love she never thought possible.Praxton is more than a story of steamy encounters and interstellar intrigue—it's a provocative exploration of freedom, desire, and the clash between rigid morality and lived experience. With vivid world-building, interesting characters, and scenes that engage all the senses, N. S. Howard delivers a page-turner that is as thought-provoking as it is impossible to put down.
