Into the Ikfal: WarGuards of Ikshe

It was a rescue mission. Failing wasn't an option. But neither was falling--in love. When the artificial intelligence VELMA selected me for a risky rescue mission on Planet Ikthe, I had one of two take this opportunity to explore a new planet, use some skills, and change the course of my future; or stay on the retreating fleet ship Lucidity and keep the dingy and isolated Warp Mechanics bay running until I retired. Okay, it wasn't much of a contest. As an Advance Resource Assessment team flunkie, I'd always wanted to explore distant planets. This was my chance, and I was taking it!

VELMA warned me of the danger, but she assured me I had what it took to get the job done. She didn't tell me the Theraxl warriors were seven feet of chiseled muscle and sharpened fangs, or that they had the possibility of developing a permanent heart condition triggered by a special someone. When that special someone turned out to be me, I didn't know what it meant for Mazaquo, the hunky alien warrior I rescued, and I sure as hell didn't know what it meant for me. Just because I was ready for a change didn't mean I was ready for a heart mate! Or did it?
