The Stars of Hope

Many call her half-breed, but there is no one more loyal to the Commonwealth and Fleet than Kat, whose Rojan sire had returned to murder her mother all those years ago. But when someone from the Empire recognizes Kat's blood ties, a lifelong mystery turns into terror, when she is kidnapped and taken across the border for unknown political purposes. Jak Trent just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and doesn't appreciate being used to kidnap a Commonwealth citizen. But when he learns she is Fleet, he vows he will do anything to get her back where she belongs-whatever the cost.
