Survival on her planet got harder, and working in a bar, her days spent waiting on others, was not how she’d envisioned her future. After spending time with the group determined to prevent another conflict, learning how to be a warrior like the human females became her greatest desire. Her greatest challenge, other than dealing with an overprotective sibling, is convincing the human male in charge of training, the one whose alluring scent makes her tail twitch, that she is serious.Logan’s position as second in command of the human rebels and a member of the newly formed alliance with the ketaurran ruler comes with a lot of responsibility. Dealing with dangerous, sometimes life-threatening situations is a way of life and not conducive to having a relationship. Teaching females to fight is part of the job, one that never came with distractions until Cianna asked him to train her. A task made more difficult when his next mission requires him to go undercover in her family’s bar. How can Logan be expected to complete his assignment, let alone train Cianna, when all he wants to do is hold the enticing female in his arms and keep her safe?

    (The Posse Comitatus Act is the United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) that was passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1981. Its intent (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) was to limit the powers of Federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce the State laws.) The training and armament of our civilian police has led to many abuses of power where the police don't believe they are above the Law, but that they ARE the Law". This has culminated in the deaths of many Americans who have reacted to middle of the night break-ins by law enforcement, reached for a weapon to protect his or her family, and been executed. The 'no-knock' rule must go and civility towards the public must return. Barring that, I see a time when this story line will become the common occurrence. People will say, "Enough!" and will say it with force, if needed.
