Sirene Javaar wants no part of the mission she must now undertake to prevent war with the Cyrenian Empire. As a Legion Warrior, she knows it's her duty to follow orders, but do those orders have to come from the man who broke her heart years ago? A man she still loves more than life itself. How will she be able to spend six standard months in his presence? Loving him. Wanting him. Craving his touch. Talon Tremain, Captain of the starcruiser Mirage, is given secret orders he's forbidden to share with his crew. His mission will be dangerous enough without having to hide the love he still feels for Sirene, but he's been given no other choice.
