From The Publisher:

In a future where anything alien is mistrusted, Doctor Xander Vargas hides his true nature. Reassignment to a new ship is the second chance he needs, and spoiling it isn't an option. Until he meets his one temptation, a woman his alien genes would kill for.

Sergeant Thandie Kruger finds herself under the care of the navy's sexiest cybernetic surgeon. She should resist him, but she's fascinated, and his mysterious eyes hold a dozen secrets.

Although they're divided by rank and united by undeniable attraction, there are bigger problems in the galaxy. Cyborgs like Thandie are vanishing from colonies at an alarming rate.

And anyone could be next.
