SummaryShe came to find herself. Instead, she found him.
One would think being sister-in-law to a planetary sovereign
would be an advantage. It isn't. Ilexa Dhakir hopes
volunteering for a medical exchange program will allow her
to use her healing gifts freely. Instead, she finds herself
under the watchful eye of her brother's oldest friend, Thane
Msaka. The handsome warrior no longer resembles the
straight-laced soldier she's known most of her life, but his
rampant effect on her libido hasn't changed.
Having surrendered his military commission and returned to
traditional tribal life, Thane's irritation with babysitting
duty goes further than trying to protect Ilexa from the
havoc she wreaks. He wants her with a ferocity he can't
explain, even though he knows he shouldn't.
When it becomes clear some tribe members will do anything to
get rid of her, Thane has to battle people of his blood to
protect the woman of his heart.
