Scout Captain Tyla Venture was consumed by one desire: revenge against the Klik's for destroying her ship and killing half her crew. She doesn't have time for love or romance. Just vengeance.

As the only captain to ever survive a Klik attack she was lauded in the Fleet, but she still has a score to settle with the mysterious aliens who've been vexing humanity's expansion into the stars for hundreds of years. So she's on an ongoing mission to seek out Klik life and Klik civilization and destroy it.

Only the intrepid captain has two problems. The first is the Kliks are notoriously hard to find. The second is she gets herself captured by her enemies the moment she actually figures out a way to track them. Oops.

Captured and given over to Klik scientists for observation and experimentation, she meets another female human captive who's been in their captivity for six months or a hundred years depending on how you reckon relativistic space travel at near-light speeds. And her new companion is igniting feelings that she's denied for so long. Feelings that are strangely compelling.

Love is the last thing she was expecting to find on an enemy battlecruiser, particularly love with another woman, but it couldn't hurt to take a quick break from vengeance to explore these strange new feelings, to seek out new fun and new experiences, to boldly go where she's never gone before with another woman...
