A year ago, Korden lost the most important person in his world: his brother and lover, Rennett.But now Rennett has been found alive, a captive on a hostile planet. When their sibling link reactivates, however, Korden realizes just how much Rennett has really suffered. Stripped of his mental strength, Rennett is now a Broken Alpha. Assisted by his friends and crew, Korden must try and heal his brother's mind and help him adjust to his new status. But Rennett needs a legal mate, and it quickly becomes clear that no one is willing. If Korden steps forward, he risks losing everything—career, ship, and his father's respect—for a brother the world had already accepted as dead.
