About this book
Summary
He demanded order. She was the chaos he couldn't control. Commander Nicholas Sterling runs the Vanguard with cold, ruthless precision. In the depths of space, there is no room for error - and certainly no room for stowaways. When he discovers Amanda Raine hiding in a cryo-pod, his duty is clear: treat her as a hostile variable and purge the threat. But Amanda is no ordinary prisoner. A brilliant xenolinguist on the run from a corrupt corporation, she possesses intelligence that rivals his own and a defiance that shatters his icy composure. Instead of breaking her, Nicholas finds himself obsessed with containing her. When a pirate attack cripples the ship, the strict boundaries of captor and captive dissolve in the vacuum of space. Forced into a cramped escape pod to survive, the tension between them ignites into a desperate, forbidden passion. Stranded on an alien world with enemies closing in, Nicholas must choose between the military discipline that defines him and the woman who has claimed his soul.Book information
