Synopsis:
A sexy debut exploring an erotic future universe of passion, danger, and
deceit…
On the battleground or in the bedroom, one woman and two men fight for dominance in a bold, new, and excitingly different direction in erotica…
As a lieutenant of the Federation military, Sera Ayers is accustomed to giving orders, not taking them. Now she must obey the one man she can't stand-and can't stop thinking about.
With the enemy Imperialists gaining ground, a covert team is assembled by Ash Walker. Ten years before, Sera had lovingly submitted to Ash's dominance in the bedroom. But when he was forced into a political marriage, she refused to play mistress. His marriage now over, Ash wants Sera on his team-and back in his bed.
The third team member, Brandt Pela, has an elegance to match Ash's savage sexuality. And when their undercover plan requires Sera to pose as Brandt's lover, it ignites a passion among the three of them more dangerous than their mission.

Review:
Futuristic/SFR
with a relationship driven plot. I'm not
saying there isn't action but much of it is sexual. Since this is a ménage book, a great deal of
time is spent on scenes exploring combinations of one, two and three
partners. [Despite the heroine assuring
them she is okay with 'boy touching' - her words, not mine - the two guys are
into her and not each other. They are
emotionally intimate, and there is an occasional kiss or caress - but it's on
the way to what they really want, her.] Contains
some BDSM elements - bedroom submission, a few toys, spanking...
The
book opens with the heroine, Sera, storming into her superior's office
demanding to be sent back to her unit.
He refuses and introduces her to her new unit, Brandt Pela and Ash
Walker. She decks Ash, puts Brandt on
the ground when he tries to block the door, and storms back out. Eventually she is forced to listen - she has
been assigned to work with these two in a covert intelligence unit - for
reasons having to do with her skills, not her past with Ash.
Both
Brandt and Ash are Ranked [think English aristocracy, especially before the
introduction of the House of Commons.]
Ranked men are not supposed to do more than play around with unranked
women. Sera is unranked. Ten years ago Sera and Ash were together and,
she thought, deeply in love. The shock
when she found out he was engaged to be married and he asked her to be his
official Mistress was devastating. She
left him, and any thought of love, behind.
The
mission necessitates her being a 'mistress' to one of the men since the society
they will be entering requires it and they need someone to spy at that
level. She refuses to have anything to
do with Ash but agrees to do it with Brandt.
Circumstances [of the extremely obvious plot device variety] occur that
require her to be the mistress of both of them...
The
threesome work well together in the bedroom and on the mission. They succeed in tracking down the traitors
and bringing the proof back to their superiors, proof that rocks the comfortable
world of the Ranked...
Ash
wants her back - desperately. The wife
he was forced to marry divorced him seven years ago so he is now free, but as a
second son he still cannot marry without his father's permission - permission
that he could not get ten years ago and cannot get now.
Brandt
had heard a great deal about Sera from his best friend and he falls deeply in
love with her. And his father is much
more liberal than Ash's..
Sera learns
about the realities of being Ranked and finally understands why Ash did what he
did ten years ago. She slowly begins to
trust again, both Ash AND Brandt...
I enjoyed it - and moved on to the next book in the series. After Relentless the focus moves to the Phantom Corps [a special unit within the Federation, essentially a formalized version of the the covert ops team explored in Undercover]. I tried to ignore the cover - it's way too lingerie model for me!
