An Enforcer turned Peacekeeper, Lera has to deal with the shift to Guardian Liaison and lover.

Lera has been through a few jobs since she left Terra. First, she was in training, then an Enforcer on alien worlds and now she is part of the Peacekeeper-Enforcer exchange program, dealing with the daily drudgery of being a beat cop in her small sector of a strange city.

When she comes to the attention of a Guardian, she knows that he is the one she has been waiting for. The quandary comes when she has to decide exactly how much of his destiny she is willing to reveal.

Lance uses his skill to create weapons from metal and disable his enemies. The small Terran captures his senses, but what can he do to get her within his grasp and keep her there?

Excerpt:

Lance looked around casually, and he nodded toward the Peacekeeper who was talking softly with the proprietor of a fruit stand. “I can’t believe that they have female Peacekeepers in this city.”

Coma snorted. “It took a while to get them to authorize it, but the population is warming to it rapidly.”

Lance watched the gentle sway of the woman’s hips, highlighted by her weapon belt. “It is certainly warming.”

They were seated at an outdoor café and enjoying a quiet moment after the activities of the morning. Lance couldn’t get the scent of the Peacekeeper out of his head. It was sending signals through his body to either fight or fuck, and since he couldn’t do either at the moment, he was stuck.

“You look like you need a workout, Lance.” Coma was noting his tense hand on his cup.

“I do, but not the kind you are thinking about. Something about that Peacekeeper.” He shuddered as he tried to get control of the lust running through him.

“Your kind is rather fixated on reproduction, aren’t they?” Shatter sneered. He considered himself to be above hormonal effects, though his species was so close to Lance’s, it was ridiculous. He was dark where Lance was light, and it was enough of a difference that few, if any, folks noticed the similarity.

“We aren’t fixated on it, Shatter. We just enjoy it. Finding someone compatible is a worthy pursuit. Proving that compatibility is simply mind-blowing fun.”

Shatter rolled his eyes, Coma snorted and Lance looked for the Peacekeeper, but she was beyond his field of view, leaving only the faintest of scents on the wind.

Coma shook her head. “I pity the recruits coming tomorrow. You are going to kill them.”

He smiled. “Then, they aren’t worthy of being Guardians.”
