Former joy-boy Rafe Ballard will miss living on the freighter Pendragon's Dream. Under the watchful eye of Captain Eve Marcori, Marine veteran, no one beat him. He ate well, his life was rarely in danger, and—most important by far—he spent much of his days and all the glorious nights with his beloved Taro. Unfortunately, energetic Taro wants to take on the galaxy without his sister the captain standing by, and Rafe won't be left behind. He's learned enough to get a real job so he won't be a burden. Taro is beyond capable of keeping him safe. What could go wrong? With a Marcori in the picture, lots. By the explosive end of his first job, Taro needs back-up. Rafe is all there is. Hedonist, layabout, and mooch he may be, but Rafe is also deeply in love. For Taro he'll surprise everyone—especially himself. This novel is a sequel to Knight Errant.
