Games of command

With the new Alliance between the Triad and the United Coalition, Captain Tasha "Sass" Sebastian finds herself serving under her former nemesis, biocybe Admiral Branden Kel-Paten - and doing her best to hide a deadly past. But when an injured mercenary winds up in their ship's sick bay - and in the hands of her best friend, Dr Eden Fynn - Sass's efforts may be wasted. Wanted rebel Jace Serafino has information that could expose all of Sass's secrets, tear the fragile Alliance apart - and end Sass's career if Kel-Paten discovers them. But the biocybe has something to hide as well, something once thought impossible for his kind to possess: feelings... for Sass. Soon it's clear that their prisoner could bring down everything they once believed was worth dying for - and everything they now have to live for.
