Commanded to Yield — Jennifer Leeland

For thirty years, Asberek has maintained peace with her mother planet, Earth. But when Earth Central tries to assassinate the colony's leader, the ties that hold them together are threatened. Earth Central sends Fallon Denny, a smart and savvy diplomat, to negotiate with the colonial council.

The minute Matthew Lestrano meets the visiting Earthling, he's torn between his loyalty to the colony and his lust for the beautiful, but dangerous, visitor. Once again, the drug that permeates Asberek's atmosphere leads to strange connections, and Matthew finds that dominating Fallon Denny may lead to his downfall.

Treachery and betrayal create cracks in negotiations. When Fallon's life is as risk, Matthew is the only one who can save her, and she finds there is more than politics at stake when she is commanded to yield.
