Coalition Reckoning. The Department of Homeworld Security, #10

Things in the kitchen are about to heat up. When a reclusive billionaire hires Brigid as his personal chef, she has a feeling the job is too good to be true. The pay is jaw-dropping-as is the wannabe she's replacing in the kitchen. Dane's heart is in the right place, but seriously, baked beans over pasta? It's like he learned to cook on another planet. He's eager to learn her ways, and Brigid is more than happy to give him very personal lessons. Dane has never felt like he belonged anywhere.
Not among his fellow Sadirian soldiers in the fleet of the Coalition of Planets and not as the highest ranking med-tech assigned to assist the Department of Homeworld Security on Earth. All of that changes the moment he meets Brigid. Resisting their mutual attraction is impossible-especially when soldiers from the Coalition arrive to arrest the Sadirians living on Earth and wipe the memories of all the Earthlings who've encountered them.
But as Dane and Brigid fight to preserve their chance at a future together, they find that a new enemy has risen in the galaxy that threatens everything they know and love. As their worlds shift around them, can they hold on to the spark that connects their hearts? Main Content: Approximately 44, 205 words, 226 (5.5 x 8.5) pages. Intended for mature readers.
