Chief Engineer Katie McCormick is just trying to keep her head down and Eldora Space Station from falling apart on her watch. Not an easy job with a station commander out to get her. Her only pleasure on any given day is stopping in at Nick the Bartender's pub for a drink and a chat with the gorgeous publican. She doesn't harbor any illusions about a relationship with Nick, but she savors the time she spends with him.

After yet another station-wide failure, though, Katie is desperate to get off Eldora before her career is irretrievably ruined. When Nick offers her an option, the temptation is almost more than she can resist. Even if it means taking the biggest risk of her life and following a man she barely knows. A man she secretly wants more from than just a job.

On Eldora Station, it isn't just Katie's career at stake. This time, her heart might just take the biggest hit of all.
