One would think being sister-in-law to a planetary sovereign would be an advantage. It isnвЂTMt. Ilexa Dhakir hopes volunteering for a medical exchange program will allow her to use her healing gifts freely. Instead, she finds herself under the watchful eye of her brotherвЂTMs oldest friend, Thane Msaka. The handsome warrior no longer resembles the straight-laced soldier sheвЂTMs known most of her life, but his rampant effect on her libido hasnвЂTMt changed. Having surrendered his military commission and returned to traditional tribal life, ThaneвЂTMs irritation with babysitting duty goes further than trying to protect Ilexa from the havoc she wreaks. He wants her with a ferocity he canвЂTMt explain, even though he knows he shouldnвЂTMt. When it becomes clear some tribe members will do anything to get rid of her, Thane has to battle people of his blood to protect the woman of his heart. Accepting a position as a healer on an alien world, the last thing Ilexa Dhakir expects is her brothers friend acting as babysitter. Living with his tribe, she discovers the simplest acts have massive cultural repercussions. As her feelings for him deepen, she discovers others are willing to take deadly measures to drive them apart
