Colin gets word his brother has been shot and in the hospital. He also learns that Major Lauren Burcher - the commanding officer - is in the hospital as well and he wishes to thank him. When he finds out that he is really a "she" and that another attempt has been made in the hospital on her life he wants to help. He picks her up and immediately knows she is his mate. She wants nothing to do with him, mate or no mate, and she doesn't take orders well she is use to giving them. 
 Will Colin's family and Lauren's be able to keep them all safe?? Definitely a must read - another great start to another series by Kathi S Barton and would definitely recommend to everyone as a must read.
