Freedom was supposed to mean escape, not hiding on a forgotten planet with an alien pirate who refuses to leave her alone.

Mika Martinez has survived prison, interstellar pursuit, and a government determined to turn human women into obedient mates. Now she is stranded on primitive Kritha with her friends, helping a struggling village while waiting for their next chance to run.

Zack should be focused on keeping the rebel crew alive. Instead, the former farm boy turned pirate cannot stop watching Mika, protecting her, or imagining a future neither of them is reckless enough to promise.

Their slow-burning attraction is dangerous enough before Xenon declares the entire group enemies of the government. With bounty hunters closing in and every day on Kritha putting innocent lives at risk, Mika and Zack can no longer pretend they have unlimited time.

She has spent her life proving she needs no one. He has spent his outrunning anything that could make him stay. Survival may force them to decide what freedom is really worth.

For fans of alien romance, space pirates, slow-burn attraction, rebel outlaws, found family, high-stakes survival.
