Yearning's Samiel — Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Wrongly convicted of high treason, Kaizen Samiel has everything taken from him -- his career, his freedom and the woman who is the center of his Megaverse. Condemned to a hell-hole prison in the frigid darkness of space, all he wants is revenge on the men who had him sent there and the woman who has forsaken him.

When Capt. Kathleen McGregor's scout ship is attacked, the last face she expects to see on her vid-com screen is that of a man she's thought long dead. She has kept her love for Kaizen safely ensconced in her heart where no one can take him from her. Now, looking into his beloved face and seeing only hatred, vengeance and retaliation aimed directly at her turns her world upside down.
