Description

Accused of murder and trapped in a web of corporate deceit, her only hope lies in the stars... and in a handsome alien mercenary.

Lina's day goes from bad to worse when she uncovers her employer's darkest secret: illegal experiments on non-humans that shatter ethical boundaries and risk igniting a war. She knows she needs to tell someone, but her employers have a habit of silencing whistleblowers. Permanently. Desperate, she makes a call to an old friend...

She anticipates a high-stakes rescue. What she doesn't expect is Mayce, an alien mercenary whose smoldering gaze and sharp intellect challenge everything she knows about survival—and desire.

The mission was simple: rescue the damsel (scientist) in distress. But it's not that simple anymore...

Mayce, the newest member of the Warborne, prepares for a straightforward rescue mission. However, a raging solar storm strands him at the base, complicating what should have been a simple plan. He must think on his feet to keep the rest of the crew from discovering he's an alien and to protect Lina, not just as a rescuee, but as the woman who's stolen his heart.

When the base turns into a hunting ground with crew members mysteriously killed, and attempts on Lina's life intensify, Mayce finds himself in a race against time. He must unravel the mystery and solve the murders before the killer claims the one person who makes his heart beat...

    Yet again this author has brought us a book that I couldn’t find the power to put down. This ragtag group of mercenaries find themselves on a side quest where the newest member has to prove himself and his ability to think on his feet. But his entire life has taught him to play his part perfectly. Together with his lady love, and an unexpected ally, they clear the rot from the crew and find the love that has been just out of reach. The story was fantastic with moments of joy in between those of terror, keeping the energy levels high and the story moving. This book was a fantastic addition to the series and I can’t wait to see how the next story plays out beyond the glimpse the author gave us.

    I love the world of the Lathar and this tale like the others comes to life with every word I read. Lina is an admirable scientist consumed by her work yet when she determines her employers are doing the unthinkable she knows she can call the Warborne. Mayce being a member of the Lathar offshoot Navarr adds twists especially to the more personal part of the story. The fated mate aspect is one of my favorites and gives the sexy times so much more heart. I plowed through this book in one sitting but enjoyed very minute.
