Quiet Contemplation — T.M. Kuefler

Archaeologist, Dr. Greg Patel is not a fan of the Drako or their technology. Case in point the handy piece of metal they welded to his thigh, replacing the leg that he lost in the abduction. He is, however, very fond of the woman who finally acknowledged their connection. Combat pilot, Vorhalla, spent weeks running from her connection only to lose him. Six terrifying weeks of desperate searching finally brings the wounded and traumatized man home and into her arms. Arms that refuse to let him go, ever again.
