Summary
After serving in Starfleet for the past seven years, Lieutenant Margaret (Margot) Lee Larke is no stranger to first days. But when a delayed shuttle, missed orientation tour and huge, unfamiliar ship keep her from getting to her medical eval appointment on time, she’s met by a less than impressed Dr. McCoy, who might just be handsome if he wasn’t so busy scowling at her.
And when she’s called in for a one-on-one meeting with the Captain, Margot isn’t sure what to expect. It’s been over ten years since she last saw her cousin, and things were left on pretty bad terms (to say the least). But she’s certainly not expecting to learn that the prickly doctor with the striking blue eyes from earlier also happens to be Jim’s best friend.
Margot is keen to keep her familial ties in the dark for now, but hiding that secret becomes more of a challenge than she expects, especially on a crew as sharp eyed as the Enterprise. Will she manage to repair her relationships and find her footing? And will she choose to do anything about her begrudging attraction to McCoy, as she begins to see beyond his gruff exterior?
