As head of the Sargaidia guards, Nina Janelle is accustomed to getting what she wants out of her men--in battle and in bed. These days, she's in a losing battle with her panther-shifter heat cycle, each round requiring more and more men to quell her burning need. Until she meets Commission Officer Jordan Vasil. Suddenly, only one man can satisfy her--too bad the cocky pilot grates on her very last nerve.
Nina's is the only face floating in his mind when Jordan lays alone at night, suffering from unrequited lust. It seems she'd rather slit his throat than bed him--until he finds her in debilitating pain from her efforts to subdue her urges. Ignoring her attempts to push him away, he gives her what she needs. His touch. His body.
Nina's not quite ready to concede defeat, but she needs Jordan's piloting skills to find her missing brother. Alone with him in close quarters promises to be more than distracting. Losing control could cost more than her kick-ass reputation. It could cost their lives.
