Kelsey's undercover assignment aboard the Fearless blows up in her face when the ship's handsome commander sets his sights on her. They're genetically compatible, which means one thing to a Rodyte male, pursue, seduce and claim his potential mate. Jakkin didn't set out to bond with a mate, but now that he's found her, he'll do everything in his power to win her heart. It doesn't matter that she's a spy, or that she claims to despise him. He can sense her attraction and smell her arousal. Her words are hurtful and cold, but he has no doubt that her passions burn as brightly as his.
