Tim was once an unstoppable cyborg. Now he’s human again—too human, with a body that feels clumsy, emotions he doesn’t know how to control, and one scientist he can’t get out of his system.

Riina Katala never expected her friendship with Tim to turn into something that keeps her awake at night. But seeing him in his new, flesh-and-blood form stirs feelings she’s not ready to face—especially when duty demands she lead a dangerous mission with him at her side.

Their task? Rescue a stranded geologist before his accidental first contact ignites a planetary disaster.

Their risk? Facing the truth about each other while an ominous alien presence darkens the skies above Arroxan Prime.

Caught between duty and desire, Tim and Riina must decide if they can be more than partners—or if the universe has other plans.

From award-winning author Pauline Baird Jones comes a perilously fun, heart-pounding space adventure of love, loyalty, and second chances.
