Synopsis:
After his unusual reaction to a weapon, Commando Varean Donnelly is accused of being a shape-shifting alien and imprisoned onboard the Imojenna. Sure, he has abilities he keeps hidden from everyone—including the gorgeous doc examining him—because the government makes sure people as different as him disappear. For good.Imojenna doctor Kira Sasaki knows there’s something different about the handsome commando the captain’s thrown in their brig. She doesn’t think he’s Reidar, although he might have been a victim of their cruel experiments. But when Kira learns the stubborn commando’s racial make-up, she finds herself torn between defending him to Captain Rian Sherron and his crew or urging Varean to escape while he still can.
It’s no accident Lieutenant Marshal Mae Petros finds herself in the firing line alongside the charming but very off-limits Captain Admiral Graydon. She’s taken the job as the admiral’s assistant to determine if a shape-shifting alien has killed the CO and assumed his form. Whether the admiral is human or not, Mae finds herself getting way too close to him as they run for their lives.
Military to the core, Mae and Zander will have to overcome their suspicions of each other to work together, when they realize the fate of the entire universe is at stake.

EXCERPT:
“You’re
not going to die, all right? So don’t listen to him. Just hang on until I can
get you hooked up to the ship’s diag systems. You know that would have been
much easier if you hadn’t tipped over the gurney.”
A somber
laugh escaped him but turned into a cough.
“Sorry,
but the plan was to avoid being shot. Obviously that didn’t pan out so well.”
“And he’s
got a sense of humor even when he’s dying,” she muttered, shoving some medical
supplies out of the way that had gotten knocked about during the scuffle.
“Thought
you said I wasn’t going to die.” Funny, but the pain seemed to be fading,
although his body felt heavy all of a sudden, his mind slow and tired.
“I’m the
doctor, that’s what I’m supposed to say.” She finished shoving equipment out of
her way and turned back to him.
For a
moment, he focused on her gorgeously disheveled mop of dark hair and those soft
green eyes. She really did have the face of an angel hiding the core of pure
metium reinforced steel inside her. Right at that moment, she looked like an
angel who’d been put through hell. A sheen filled her eyes, leaving her
blinking rapidly. He grabbed her hand covered in his blood, leaving the grip slippery.
“You’re
not actually upset over me, are you?” She speared him with a pissed-off,
indignant glare. “Of course I’m upset! You don’t deserve to die just because
Rian wanted his damn curiosity sated.”
His
muscles rapidly weakening, he reached up with his other hand to cup her cheek.
“I’m not worth it, Kira. I’m a commando; it’s the only end I had coming.”
She leaned
down, tugging her hand free to press the cloth harder against his injury. Her
other hand came up to grip his chin. “I am not letting you die.”
Warm
vibrations erupted from deep within him, his inherent abilities fully blooming.
She was right, he wasn’t going to die, but when he survived, Rian was going to
have even more damned questions.
The truth
would be much harder to conceal.
The low
reverberations streaming through him reached the wound, taking away the pain
and leaving him breathing easier. But it was getting harder to keep his eyes
open. Just before he succumbed to the healing sleep, Kira’s eyes widened, her
hand releasing his to lift and cover where he still had his palm against her
cheek.
“What in
the stars—?”

Synopsis: Twelve years on the prison planet Erebus makes a man long for death. The worst part for Tannin Everette is that he was framed for murder. He's innocent. When the ship Imojenna lands for emergency repairs, Tannin risks everything to escape...only to find himself face to face with the captain's undeniably gorgeous sister.
Zahli Sherron isn't planning on turning Tannin in. In fact, she actually believes him. Sure, he's sexy as every kind of sin, but he's no criminal—so she hides him. But no one escapes from Erebus and lives to tell about it. With every day that passes, Zahli further risks the lives of the entire crew...even as she falls in love with a man she can never have for herself.
