The Rebel Lord (Darkscape, #1)

Lord Lachlan de Douglas, heir to a Clan of Ancient Earth, constantly defends his people from annihilation. When a sudden horror alters his being, he is condemned to a world of private anguish and torment. Lt. Kimberly Kinsale, a diplomat's daughter, serves in an elite combat group aboard a war ship. In a moment of lunacy and folly, she is forced to decide between remaining loyal or betraying her clan for a Douglas enemy lord. Fighting the sinister legacy of the matrix robots, Kimberly must now trust her enemy with her life, her heart, and her very soul. But as time slowly runs out, she realizes even an exquisite love may not be enough for salvation.
