In a race against time, Allysha must set aside her conflicted emotions and trust a man she barely knows, a man she thinks murdered her father. Saahren must convince the woman he loves to help him solve the political crisis which has brought the Galaxy to the brink.
The Iron Admiral: Deception
An uneasy peace has been restored. Grand Admiral Saahren has regained his commission, but he doesn’t have Allysha. Despite his best attempts to keep the woman he loves safe, she is a pawn in a growing power struggle, one where she will need all her skills and cunning to outwit a heinous plot that could result in the loss of billions of human lives.
