Baleck
I'm staying on Destrani to help the D'tran integrate with the wider galaxy, but that's not the only reason I can't leave. Iris Larivee -- the human operative with the scarred face and a hundred weapons -- fascinates me in ways I don't fully understand. As a communications specialist, I pride myself on reading people, but she's completely unreadable. Disciplined. Guarded. Beautiful. When we discover a Brakken probe threatening this fragile world, I know we're in danger. What I don't expect is how working with Iris ignites my mating instincts. She's mine. I'm certain of it. Now I just need to convince her before our enemies make their move.

Iris
I don't do relationships. I've survived by staying alone, staying sharp, trusting no one. But Baleck keeps slipping past my defenses with his easy smiles and genuine warmth, making me want things I have no right to want. When a D'tran conspiracy puts me in the hands of our enemies, I expect to save myself. Instead, Baleck comes for me, and everything I thought I knew about connection shatters. He says I'm his fated mate. I think he's going to break my heart. But first, we have to survive what's coming.
