The Rebel's Mate

This seventh installment returns readers to Charybdis Station, where the crew of the Blue Solace is back in action. Finn Sterling, who grew up an orphan on Cardinal Hold, has recently been named lieutenant of the station's blue fleet. He never expected to hold real authority as an adult, and he knows his friends are counting on him, so he cannot afford to fail.

Finn's first major assignment is to locate a large group of missing Vextonians. Knowing the job is too big to handle alone, he accepts help from anyone who offers it. The search soon leads him to his mate, and he learns that recovering the missing is only part of what lies ahead.

Aiden Crow has spent the past year weighed down by grief and driven by a need for revenge. When he meets Finn, he immediately recognizes him as his mate, yet he doubts he has anything to give a man as bright and warm as the Cardinal. As the hunt for the missing pulls them closer, Crow comes to see that his greatest danger may be giving away his heart. The two men must pool what they know to track down the innocent before they vanish for good.
