Trial And Temptation (Mandrake Company) - Plot & Excerpts
“We’re clamped down, and the airlock tube is attached.” The moon’s gravity was negligible but enough to affect maneuvering, and she had found the docking task difficult.

Better than the excuse that she had been too busy to attach the patches to her clothes. “I imagine I look more like a random traveler than an elite mercenary, anyway, even with the pistol.”
