Synopsis (Goodreads):
As a member of the legendary Serpentian guard, Tessa Alligon has been trained to kill, with her bare hands if necessary. And with her legs? She can take a strong man where no man's gone before. But when Captain Craig walks into the first Orion crew briefing, Tessa falls head over heels. Now to get the handsome commander to see how perfect they could be together.

Captain Steve Craig is a Space Forces veteran on his first peace-time assignment. The bridge of the huge, sleek space ship Orion is just what his battle-weary soul needs. But the alluring females in his ship's guard are strictly off limits … until PTSD knocks out this tough, ex-soldier, and Tessa is there to catch him.

Their first embrace flames hot enough to heat the cold of deep space. But Craig knows the liaison is a mistake, and one he can't afford to make again. Too bad he now has a hissing viper by the tail--one with revenge on her mind. Tessa aims to show him she's not a woman to be trifled with, and she doesn't mind doing it in front of the entire crew.

When Steve learns a saboteur is hiding on board his ship, perhaps even in the Orion's ships guard, he now wonders … is Tessa merely a woman scorned? Or is she the saboteur he must stop at all costs?
Thoughts on Her Commander: The Orion had a tough journey last time out with saboteurs trying to waylay the ship in the worst way possible, so everyone's a little on edge this time around. Throw in a little sexual tension (and by a little, I mean a lot) between the captain and one of the Serpentian guards along with another plot to down the big ship and things get even more tangled.

Actually, the entanglement doesn't happen right away. Mostly because the captain isn't one to dally among crew. No matter how many signals they're throwing out. It isn't until Tessa offers him comfort during a bad spell that things start to get sticky. And by sticky, I mean sexy. Rawr!

Unfortunately, with a potential saboteur aboard, the captain has to be wary of everyone, including the woman who's starting to worm her way into his heart. Which, as you can imagine, makes for some tense moments between them.

Aliens, honor, some not so good people doing some not so good things, sexy times, and some booty-kicking ladies who aren't going to let their ship fall if they have anything to say about it. Yessssss.
