Agent Emily Ipsy is determined to make a name for herself. That leads to unauthorized shifts and sneaking around. She keeps running into Anthracite, the bartender. If he's really just a bartender, why is he everywhere—and why can't she stop thinking about him?

Anth is stationed at Olympus Station on assignment from his government. He's there to do a job, but Emily keeps getting in his way. She's maddening, distracting, and pure temptation. He needs to keep his eyes on the job and hands off the security agent, but that's proving impossible. When an old enemy of his people surfaces, he'll need Emily's help to find out why Baatesh is there and stop what he's doing. After working with her at his side, will he ever want to let her go?
