He couldn't die without her, and he wouldn't die with her. Not if she had anything to say about it.

The tide has turned in a centuries' long war, and the Intergalactic Military has been tapped to step in and lend a hand. Sent to assist the Bo'Estrons, Captain Jelia Linh and her crew find themselves under immediate attack and in a fight for their own lives.

The rescue goes wrong, and ironically Kaxx must save the ones sent to aid them, but he isn't expecting the feelings the female captain invokes.  The tingling sensation he gets when he touches her. It couldn't be...could it? He'd missed his chance long ago.

The mission to help find the missing crewmembers is proving futile, as they're all being picked off one bunker at a time. The battle is heating up, and it's no longer about protecting their own. The Bo'Estron are fighting back, but with the Varnarians teaming up with the Hojinths, do they stand a chance?

War. Betrayal. Enemies. Allies. Saviors. Mates.

Torn between duty and love, two become one.
