Rose Mendez just ended her military career in the Terran army. Now, instead of
working on her home planet, where desperate citizens are tormented daily by
Cerulean forces, she’s landed her dream job of running the beautiful hydroponic
farm on a luxury spacecraft. When the captain pulls her off the farm and puts
her on guard duty protecting a Cerulean prisoner, she’s beyond resentful of the
big blue warrior she has to babysit.
Rex Tylarr happily left behind his brutal days in the Cerulean army, and has
spent years loyally protecting the staff and guests as Head of Security on the
Stargazer II. When he has to turn on his own people to protect a VIP guest from
a Cerulean uprising onboard, he winds up jailed with the rest of the Ceruleans.
For his own safety, the captain of the ship decides to put him under house
arrest instead, with a curvy little hydroponic farmer who seems to hate him
with a white-hot passion. Rex can’t help wondering if he’d have been better off
taking his lumps in the cell.
But when dangerous chemicals go missing and strange creatures are spotted
prowling in the ship’s forest, Rex and Rose have to put their differences aside
to save the ship and its passengers. The trouble is that each new twist of the
unfolding mystery binds them closer together and makes it harder to ignore the
sizzling attraction that irresistibly tempts these enemies to become lovers.
