   Summary

   Doctor Captain Ryland Grace had found home on Erid thanks to his best friend, Rocky. Though he has just about all he needs, he still can't ignore the itch of something missing. An itch that turns to something more troubling when a stranger in need of help shows up in his dome and starts to stir all sorts of conflicting feelings under his skin.
