Bound by duty, two soldiers yield to their hearts' command.
Captain Jo Behsue has never questioned her career with Central Command's leading military force-until now. Recent mission failures and the constant battle for acceptance from her fellow Corpsmen kindle her frustration, while the attention of a golden-eyed Klorakian mercenary ignites her body. Wrapped in his arms, she discovers even a scarred, hollow shell of a captain can love.
An officer in the Klorakian militia, Lux fights to return the rightful monarch to their homeworld's throne-a planet which scorns his genetic shortcomings. He is loyal to his cause and king, but faces a bleak future once their mission is complete. His seduction of the combative yet beautiful Captain Behsue provides a glimpse of hope, and he fights for a life with Jo, who finds only beauty in his defects.
