Captain Kendall Thomas discovers a group of thieves is looting artifacts from the abandoned alien city on Jarved Nine and smuggling them to sell on Earth. While gathering evidence, she and her best friend, Special Ops Captain Wyatt Montgomery, are trapped inside an ancient pyramid. As they try to find a way out, they're hunted by the smugglers who are determined to stay out of jail and keep their profitable side business going.

Wyatt has always considered Kendall to be more than a friend, but he's been biding his time, waiting for the right opportunity to deepen their relationship without scaring her off. The situation they're in now is dangerous, but it also means Kendall can't run from him when things grow emotionally intimate. Getting trapped in the pyramid might be the best thing that's ever happened to him—if they make it out alive.
