Synopsis (Goodreads):
Discipline. Duty. Desire.

Skotan General Rouhr will destroy the Xathi on Ankau, whatever the cost.

It's the only honorable solution for allowing the war to infect the human colony world.

As soon as their ship is repaired, he and his men will be gone, back to the battle raging in the homeworlds.

But the smiling eyes of one brave human leader set fire to his soul, the touch of her soft skin against his scales becomes an addiction.

Needing her may be a distraction from his mission, but he can't stop. Not now.

Vidia knows her time with Rouhr is limited.

She's got her own responsibilities, people who depend on her.

She understands that loving a leader sometimes means watching him leave.

With every caress her heart breaks, but she can't walk away.

Not yet.

Even if they win the final battle against the Xathi, can they survive the price?
Thoughts on Rouhr: Rouhr's people and the humans are starting to make headway against the Xathi invasion on Ankau. Which is definitely a good thing. But...it also causes some friction. Plenty of Rouhr's crew want to find a way to head back to the main fight and cause a little mayhem for the Xathi who are harrowing their homeworlds, but for the ones who are mated to humans on Ankau they're looking to stay planetside.

Rouhr has the unenviable position of trying to balance his crew's wants against the reality that they brought the Xathi to Ankau and can't just abandon the people there. Plus, he's developing feeling for Vidia and ...well, it takes him a while to admit that there might be something there. A while and a few sharp words among other things.

As for Vidia, she likes the stern general, but tries not to dwell on it. After all, her people need her and she needs to focus on them. Right? Turns out, she's smart enough to be able to divide her time between them and him.

A few big developments, several wins for the humans, and smoldering looks over status reports (I might have made that last part up, but there are DEFINITELY sexy times to be found between the general and Vidia). Things are moving forward and I'm ready.
