Enemy Captain Val shoots down a one-man fighter out near the Galactic Rim, but the pilot, much to his surprise and horror, is a woman named Lisbet Duncan. The alien jit’suku have a strict warrior code. In their culture, making war on females of any species is a shameful stain on one’s honor. The captain doesn't quite know what to do with Lisbet, but he can’t let her die alone in space. He orders his men to tow her life pod into his much larger battle ship.

Val is the last of his line, and heir to a legacy that cannot be continued on his own world because no respectable jit’suku woman will have him after the destruction of his family. He has put all his considerable resources into building his state of the art battleship and joining the fight to take the human galaxy, hoping to restore his honor in some small way. This is Val’s first foray into human space and his first encounter with a human female. He finds her strangely alluring and altogether irresistible.

Lisbet is attracted to Val as well. When he puts the moves on her, she can’t resist his masculine charm, but she doesn’t like being a prisoner - even if she is being kept in a gilded cage, treated more like a guest. She doesn’t know a lot about jit’suku culture and it’s pretty clear they don’t understand much about humans. It’s going to be fun educating her captor about just how headstrong, fierce… and loving… a human woman can be.

 

Please note, this is a SHORT STORY. It is set in the same world as the Jit’Suku Chronicles - Arcana stories. The Jit’Suku Chronicles is a generational saga encompassing several centuries of warfare between the Milky Way Galaxy and its mostly human inhabitants, and the Jit’Suku Empire. The Arcana stories are set a few centuries before the Sons of Amber timeline.
