Shaun Delaney had plans. Work hard, save up his money, and get off the backwater mining planet of Iulia to study at prestigious Istea Central university. Then an injury put paid to his dreams. Now he pulls shifts at Doug's Coffee Shop to make ends meet, and spends more time than he'd like to admit feeling sorry for himself.
Doran Scott keeps things light. It's the only way of dealing with the things he's seen serving in the military -- and the tragic past that led him to sign up in the first place. When Doran's ship lands on Iulia after a skirmish and he walks into Doug's, there are immediate sparks, but they both know this can only be a one-night stand. Right?
