Book 1 in the Breaking Boundaries series.

In 2254, a fertile woman is worth her weight in platinum. With the future of the human race in question, death is the only sentence handed out to those who plunder Earth's most precious resource.

Lee Tanner, commander of the Enforcer outpost responsible for guarding and protecting those women, will be happy to hand out that sentence. Tightening his newest command will eliminate the pirate raids, but it leaves him holding the first recovered captive in years. Strong and fiercely independent, Chenoa awakens the warrior within him, and nothing in the Enforcer's codes helps him deal with the fact that his captive isn't just a witness or a lusted-after commodity. She's a woman.

There are forces in nature that never notice the passing of years. The advances in civilization have done little to dampen the primitive yearnings of male and female. But the hand of Fate touches whom she will. Love and the bonding of two souls will never be obedient to the dictates of policy. Lee will discover how far a man will go and how hard he must fight to protect what is his.
