His whole life, Nik has sought to meet Ann, the woman he grew up knowing in his dreams. The opportunity has finally come, but it won't be easy. As the captain of a Paxon battlecruiser and the offspring of the Paxon Supreme Commander, Andretta Draksten is a woman with a lot of eyes on her, but she has learned some tricks to avoid trouble. Not even Nik knows some of her secrets. Unfortunately, the Paxon intelligence organization, SecurCom, has assigned her first officer to keep a close watch on her, and he has every intention of uncovering her secrets.

Ann and Nik have waited too long for this. They won't let anything get in the way of finally being together. However, to save their friends, they may have to make sacrifices.
