Five years after a carefree one-night fling with Commander William Riker, a Solarian diplomat returns to the USS Enterprise with a secret she never expected him to discover. Assigned permanently as the ship’s newest diplomatic specialist, she brings along her five-year-old twins, Ruby and Daniel—children Riker doesn’t know are his. As suspicious similarities and awkward conversations begin to pile up, the truth is accidentally uncovered by Data during a routine biometric scan. Thrust into the role of father overnight, Riker must navigate lost years, unexpected parenthood, and the lingering connection between two people who thought they’d never meet again. As he grows closer to his children and reconnects with the woman he never truly forgot, what begins as a shocking reunion slowly becomes the family neither of them saw coming.
