    Summary

    A mission gone bad leaves James Vega bitter and angry. To keep the guilt and pain away, he spends two whiskey-steeped weeks playing cards in the bars of Omega. When he hears that Commander Shepard has been accused of terrorism and will be court martialed, he is furious at the way the newscasters are so quick to demonize a hero. Little does he know that just outside the bar, a Spectre is waiting to escort him to Earth where he will be serving as head of security for Commander Shepard during the months of her incarceration.

    He expects to serve dutifully and formally, but over the next few weeks, he learns that Shepard is more than a symbol, more than a hero. She’s a woman to whom he can give his heart.
