For years, UCE Captain Cai Randolph has had one goal: Find her
missing parents and bring them home. She thinks she's finally
located them, but if she's right, they're on the Raft Cities, one
of the most lawless and dangerous places on Earth. She searches
for a reason for the army to send her, her partner, and his team
there and discovers the UCE's most wanted fugitive—Banzai
Maguire—is hiding on the floating cities.
Special Forces Captain Jake Tucker is furious when he learns Cai
is a woman and not artificial intelligence. There's no chance he's
taking her with his team on a mission to the Raft Cities, but when
he realizes she's facing multiple threats, he has no choice. No
one else will protect her the way he will. But getting her away
from the UCE increases her risk and pretending to be lovers
complicates everything because it isn't long before Jake wants Cai
to be his for real.
"Fabulous action sequences, an engaging and believable romance, and some of the most well-written lovemaking scenes of the year."
