This is follow-up novella to the first book in the Omega Group series, "Crossfire." It tells the story of Mirissa's trainer, Greco, and the troubled life he'd had as a result of his mother's deep disappointment at his not having been born female. The family tension comes to a head when his mother disappears and Greco and Mirissa go searching for her.

While short, the story gives a lot of insight to Greco's character and shows a very different side to him than was seen in the first book. The ending was really powerful and I'll be interested to see how these events affect him in later installments.
