A galaxy-wide threat. A point to prove. And a love that'll never fade.

Haunted by a past that almost destroyed her, Cleo Newman won't let anything ruin her career. She leads the crew on the Apocalypse, who have the highest success rate of any conservation ship. But she has two problems: the stifling orders from High Command, and her tempting partner, Hunter, who she spent one blistering night with. But Cleo learned the hard way never to mix business and pleasure, so she can't have him.

Hunter never expected to find love with a human, but Cleo consumes him. He had a taste of her, but then backed off when she asked to keep things professional. But he's done waiting. They're perfect for each other, and when her life is threatened, he doesn't hold back from protecting her and ensuring she knows what they both need.

When a mission goes off-plan and Cleo's future is in jeopardy, Hunter makes the ultimate sacrifice to ensure she keeps her dreams alive. Whatever it takes, he won't lose her.
