The balance point of interplanetary Cold War II between Earth and monolithic Yavet tips unexpectedly toward peace. Covert ops Captain Jazen Parker and his sharp shooting lover and partner Kit Born slide from world saving hazardous duty to escorting a telepathic alien monster home from Earth to mate. And the two of them are forced to consider a quiet domestic future together.
But when old enemies’ thirsts for power and revenge, Jazen’s problematic past, and his former girlfriend, upset Jazen and Kit’s personal balance point, the two cold warriors find their relationship, and their very survival, tested as never before.
Lost in space, and from one another, they must each penetrate Yavet, the universe’s most insular and repressive world, then foil a plot that could turn Cold War II hot and nuclear—or die trying.
#3 in the science fiction adventure Orphan’s Legacy series.

Product ReviewIt's a great time to be a reader ! In Balance Point, all the loose threads are tied up, and the bad guys and good guys all win. People Who Deserved Better get what they want, mostly.
The great alien character Mort from Eden returns, and he replaces the Beast (from Beauty and the) as the BEM I'd most like to be.
Chases and gunfights, crappy paper pushers, even a death-defying countdown!
All very tastefully done, of course.
