Wyett is need of a new engineer. He needs help to keep their ship running, someone smaller than the Dilarians on board to reach areas he can’t. Begrudgingly, he seeks out help. The human male he finds seems perfect for the job, but Max is far more than he seems. Not only is Max a human female, but she’s his mate. Max begs Wyett to keep her secret, to help hide from the rest of the crew. And the engineer is more than happy to keep his mate all to himself.
