Synopsis (Goodreads):
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.


The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
Thoughts on Strike Zone: As part of Intrepid's punishment for not following Power's orders, the Dauntless and crew are patrolling a section of their sector that sees little action (which, as we all know, is a pretty hefty punishment indeed for these cyborgs who like being in the middle of things). When a signal of unknown origin sets every cyborgs' danger sense pinging, Strike gets tapped to investigate. Determined, focused, and ready to do whatever needs to be done, Strike absolutely doesn't expect to find his genetic match along the way.

A little case of mistaken identity has Kesser requesting Strike's help for a sensitive situation. Seeing as how a cyborg will deny their match nothing, Strike steps up and helps her. As it turns out, the guiding hand of fate puts Strike and Kesser at the right place at the right time to stop a potentially disastrous plan from torpedoing the peace between two planets.

But, while Kesser and Strike are keeping things safe between the planets, the situation with the signal Strike was sent to investigate remains, well, a situation. Seeing as show a cyborg is dedicated to completing his mission AND he would have a hard time staying apart from his genetic match, this leaves Strike in a bit of a pickle.

Danger, sexy times, thwarted plots, more sexy times, a cyborg who is torn between duty and his special someone, and a lady who is used to being in the background (but finds she REALLY likes being the center of Strike's attention). Cyborgs! YES!
