Now, they are left alone on the planet they're surveying after the rest of their team takes the ship and returns to base with an important geological sample. During a particularly nasty downpour, Rafe is heading toward the temple where Adam is working when a landslide occurs. Rafe finds Adam half-buried inside one of the temple rooms, unconscious. Awaiting the return of their ship and the rest of the team, Rafe looks after Adam, uncertain if there'll be another landslide.

The sequel to Amber Allure’s Best Seller Best Policy... On Alkya, a planet a long way from Earth, the Division of Investigation—Other Worlds—has set up a base where hundreds of personnel live and work. Among them are two men, Major Rafe Wheaton and Lieutenant Adam Deacon, a linguist, who are part of one of the survey teams. On a mission with the rest of their team surveying a deserted city, Adam and Rafe, now a committed couple, investigate one of the many buildings, which, due to its contents, Rafe has dubbed the "library." Adam unknowingly operates some kind of machinery, and in a flash of light, the floor opens beneath his feet. In a desperate attempt to save his lover, Rafe gets caught in the same trap. While their team-mates search for them, Rafe and Adam find themselves trapped in adjoining cells, unable to touch or see each other properly, but grateful that at least they can communicate with each other. Though it doesn’t help them to understand what is happening as the walls change shape around them. Adam’s cell gets gradually smaller while Rafe is offered what seems to be a way of escape—but is that just one more trick of the strange trap in which they find themselves? Will they be able to free themselves, or will they die together—but desperately alone?

And This Man Is My Lover?

2011

Sequel to A Favor For A Friend Continuing the story of Major Jake Archer and Captain Bart Hilton who first appeared in A Favor For A Friend (Other Worlds #1), and who are now a committed couple. On a mission with the rest of their team surveying a series of ruins, Bart and Jake have yet another disagreement when Jake refuses permission for Bart to investigate certain of the ruined buildings. A disgruntled Bart decides to disobey the major and enter a ruin he is particularly interested in, believing it will reveal something of the language of the long disappeared inhabitants. Bart soon realizes he has made a mistake when he becomes trapped underground with no-one knowing where he is, and he is then subjected to a cave-in, and this time Bart doesn’t believe he has any chance of being found, let alone being rescued. When Jake returns from his patrol and can find no trace of Bart he realizes that the captain has disobeyed his order. Jake’s anger at his lover’s action is short-lived when Bart cannot be found. Jake summons the other members of the team and a search begins. Eventually, Bart is tracked to one of the ruins but there is still no trace of the man himself, but there is evidence that something happened inside the ruined building, the clues suggesting Bart was somehow caught below ground. Knowing they need help, Jake contacts the Alkya base and an engineering team is sent to assist Jake’s team in a rescue attempt. Jake is fearful they will not be in time.
