Lieutenant Tamryn Pavlenko wants to make a name for herself in the GalCon Fleet, so naturally she requests an assignment on the infamous Frost Station Alpha, where pirate attacks are a way of life. The remote research outpost holds secrets that many are willing to kill for, and Tamryn is prepared to protect it from brigands, mobsters, and mercenaries-or whatever the galaxy throws at her. The brochure, however, failed to mention the genetically engineered super humans who were supposed to have all been killed in a war that ended more than a century ago. It seems they're not only alive, but they want the station. Oh, and one of them decides he wants Tamryn too. This powerful warrior might be sexy and intriguing, but he was bred to kill, and she can't let herself forget that he's the enemy.
