The Way of the Matring: Book One Chelle Mcnally

Shyann Dinico was ready to leave her planet. Behind her, there was nothing but pain, tragedy, and loss?the loss of family and the loss of love. In an effort to escape, she agreed to take part in a voluntary mission to a new world, far from home. She would act as a chaperone to a group of young women. She would help them learn and assimilate to their new culture; they would help her move beyond past pain.

She never dreamed she?d meet Commander Sarden Nemarco and fall in love with him, after all she had lost on her own planet. Nemarco can hardly believe it himself. A man of duty, he does not have time for love. Even so, there is something about Shyann that he can?t turn away from, and his passion?the Matring?cannot be appeased without their love.

When one of his kind is found murdered, however, Nemarco finds himself investigating the visitors from Shyann?s planet. It is believed that one of the exchange women from space may be to blame. Nemarco can?t believe Shyann could be involved. Can he protect her from his own people, or will tragedy strike again in the form of death and lost love? Only the Matring knows.
