But when Gray falls for the beautiful Adept, he ends up hurting no one more than himself. Now Velvet's shields are up where Gray is concerned. Only through her trust for another man will her love be resurrected. Lieutenant Jed Castille can see that Velvet needs help. He knows that he and Gray must work together to unearth Velvet's deeply buried emotions. Unfortunately, Graham and Jed are longtime rivals. Together the trio embarks upon a dangerous mission to eliminate a Spaceforce enemy, while the two rivals pit their desires against Velvet's resistance. By the time victory is theirs, the three officers will have made an unlikely alliance. . .in the bedroom and in love.
