He's missed the boat home, but that doesn't mean he'll miss the party... When he misses the transport back to his home planet for the midsummer festival, Sargosian Warrior Saarday expects to spend his leave catching up on sleep and relaxing before he takes up his next assignment. What he doesn't expect is to bump, literally, into a sexy as hell doctor and end up covered in coffee. Or have said sexy doc decide that she needs to take personal care of the burns he's sustained from the collision... All she wanted was a cup of coffee and some time to unwind off-duty…she got much more than bargained for. Dr. Tess Evers is filling in for another doctor on the starbase until her next assignment. Focused on her career, somehow a personal life seems to have passed her by in favour of her fascination with studying other cultures. But of all the species she’s come across the one that intrigues her most are the Sargosian warriors. Born and bred for the battlefield, their men are the epitome of alpha males – strong, fierce and possessive over the females they claim. The sort of man who fills her dreams, but she'd never dare mention aloud. The sort of man a very proper doctor would only consider a specimen for scientific study. Until she crashes into one who looks past the white coat, and makes her forget propriety for the chance to play doctor with her very own Wildcat.
