A galaxy-wide threat. A point to prove. Ana a love that'll never fade.

Haunted by a past that almost destroyed her, Cleo Newman won’t let anything ruin her career. She leads the crew on the Apocalypse, who have the highest success rate of any conservation ship. But she has two problems: the stifling orders from High Command, and her tempting partner, Hunter, who she spent one blistering night with. But Cleo learned the hard way never to mix business and pleasure, so she can’t have him.

Hunter never expected to find love with a human, but Cleo consumes him. He had a taste of her, but then backed off when she asked to keep things professional. But he’s done waiting. They’re perfect for each other, and when her life is threatened, he doesn’t hold back from protecting her and ensuring she knows what they both need.

When a mission goes off-plan and Cleo’s future is in jeopardy, Hunter makes the ultimate sacrifice to ensure she keeps her dreams alive. Whatever it takes, he won’t lose her.

This standalone sci-fi action-romance novel has a crew of feisty, smart women, gorgeous Apexian alien warriors, action-packed battles, funny, quirky alien critters, and steamy scenes set in space.

I've been waiting for Cleo's story and was on pins and needles! Yes, that was a seriously good book. Cleo is a badass, but since she is the leader on Apocalypse she's always down-to-earth and very responsible. Hunter was not really described in the previous books, but we get to see his thoughts and actions. This book has serious action, steam, and heartache. It is fast-paced, easy-to read and very well-written. What is going to win though, love or duty?

I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Does a one night stand not thought remembered transform into true love? Hunter's protective instincts say "yes." But Cleo's past makes her leery of the Apexian warrior. A decision made in the heat of the moment causes the commander and her first mate to be separated. Will the danger they face pull them back together before it is too late?

Arcadia Shield writes some amazing stories. Each is a stand a lone but intertwine with the previous story. The intermingling is done very well and the connecting stories show what good author she is. I have enjoyed this series and am waiting impatiently for the next book. It's a different outlook on our Alien hot guys and an enjoyable one.

Cleo the woman and Hunter the Apexian are work partners and both have romantical leanings toward each other. Both are very involved in their work to save endangered species.
