After ten years as a field agent, Kaden Lux is ordered to babysit a bunch of scientists. Yes, the scientists are working to free the magic locked inside each battle born soldier, but his skills are utterly wasted on a spaceship. Then he encounters a feisty reporter named Lexie Ward.
Lexie deals with her sister’s disappearance as she deals with any mystery; she starts digging. Her tenacity has served her well in the past, so she sees no reason to change her approach. But the clues soon lead to a military outpost hidden on the dark side of the moon. Not sure if she’s lost her mind or if Earth is in serious danger, she’s forced to trust an arrogant, yet devastatingly attractive alien named Kaden Lux. Sparks fly and passions flare as the reluctant partners delve deeper into the mystery. And Earth’s fate hangs in the balance.

“It’s not your choice to make.” Her voice grew stronger, but her body swayed toward his, needing something only he could give.
“Of course the choice is yours, but how can you choose if you don’t understand what’s being offered?”
She had no answer for that, so she just glared mutinously. His scent was making her dizzy. She wanted to rub against him and tangle her fingers in his shaggy hair.
“Kiss me, love. It’s just one kiss, nothing to be afraid of.”
She wasn’t afraid, well, not of him. She was afraid of the radical changes he would bring into her life.
His head lowered slowly, giving her plenty of time to turn away. Then his lips brushed against hers, pressing, caressing, without taking. “Taste me, Lex. Give me your tongue.” He whispered the directive against her parted lips and she was helpless to refuse him.
Slowly, she touched his lips with the tip of her tongue. He groaned, then silently encouraged her. He circled her tongue with his, inviting her inside. She pushed deeper, seeking out his warmth and the evocative taste promised by his scent. He rubbed his tongue over hers, spreading his flavor. Then his tongue was in her mouth and his lips moved urgently as the world reordered around them.
Her senses shifted into overdrive, inundating her nerve endings with impulses and tightening muscles all through her abdomen. All she could smell was his scent and his taste spread through her mouth. She rocked to the balls of her feet, returning his kiss with equal abandon. Their tongues slid and twined, then slid again. Her pulse tripled and her ragged breathing rubbed her nipples against his chest. Desire throbbed through her body, hot and demanding. She wanted him here and now, needed him moving strong and steady deep inside her aching body.
