Suppressing the rebellion on Crucible should have been just another mission for Commander Nic Vistuv and the men of his unit. But lies and misinformation plague their mission from the beginning.

The only way out of their predicament may lie in the form of a bribe, but this bribe is different. It’s wrapped in the body of a young healer, battle-scarred and broken by a deep betrayal.

And her touch is enough to bring him to very edge of control.

As secrets unravel and enemies draw nearer, Adena may be the key to understanding the truth of Crucible.

Can a wounded healer and an embittered soldier come to trust each other in time to forge a new beginning for them for both?

Chosen by the Rakian Commander is the first book of the Rakian Warrior Mates series. There's no cheating and an HEA for each couple. And while each couple finds their HEA in their book, there is an over arching story line.

TRIGGER WARNING: There is a discussed memory of a past assault and a brief assault attempt later in the book. Please do not read this book if these things are a trigger for you.

Previous published, many years ago, as Second Chance at the Stars. This is a revised and expanded version.
