    About this ebook

    What's good for the gander has to be good for the goose … or so Morgan thinks. The fleet has won a major battle and Ravindra's doing his celebratory thing with his officers. Morgan gets a rare invite for a girls' night out.

    Dinner, a little dancing, a little jealous pining… And a whole lot of trouble when Ravindra discovers his lady is out 'n about… without protection. What started as an innocent night on the town turns into something very, very different.

      About the Author

      To the people who asked for a little more between Morgan and Ravindra

      I'M NOT GOING, SAID MORGAN.

      Ravindra’s holographic image, transmitted from the presidential palace on the planet the battle cruiser orbited, frowned. I would like you to be there. Without your assistance this war would still be tearing the planet apart.

      Look, I just tweaked a few gadgets, improved your technology. It's my job, what I was...

      'Designed'.

      Damn, she hated that word. Even if it was true. It's what I do. Your troops did the job.

      He still glowered at her. Not happy, not at all. But you provided the answer. Without your 'gadgets', we'd still be looking for the rebels. He used his fingers to put the inverted commas around the word.

      I just did my job. She shrugged. Admiral, this is your job, not mine. You know me; I don’t like crowds and pompous presidential speeches. I’ll probably offend somebody.

      Quirking his lips he nodded. All right.

      Yes. She’d won that round.

      His eyes narrowed and his chin lifted. I shall expect you to attend the ball tomorrow night, though.

      Fine. She'd cross that bridge when she reached it.

      "So you will stay on Vidhvansaka?" His eyes searched her face.

      Of course. I thought I'd get back to working on the experimental shift drive.

      Ah. His head jerked up. The tests were successful?

      I wish. "No. The model never arrived at its destination. My guess is whatever happened to Curlew also happened to it."

      What makes you so sure?

      She raised a shoulder. Proven engine design. The model made the distance with a standard drive. This time it disappeared. I think I'll crawl all over the model one more time. I'm sure I can make this work.

      She met his gaze, those fierce amber eyes reflective as he tapped the tops of his fingers together. He wanted that shift drive, a design capable of slashing the time taken to travel from one system to another.

      He gazed at her for a moment longer, then blew out a breath. I’ll see you tomorrow.

      I’m looking forward to it. You enjoy yourself. She flicked him a kiss with her fingertips and turned off the transmission.

      Morgan dropped onto the couch. All of a sudden her state room on the battle cruiser seemed empty and lonely. She'd won too easily. Maybe he was getting tired of her?
