Hope's Folly

When a hardened admiral on the run takes command of a broken-down starship and a desperate rebel mission, the last thing he expects is to meet the brilliant woman who saves his life—only to discover she's the daughter of the man whose death haunts him. Rya has worshipped Philip from afar since childhood, but the reality of the man he's become is far more complicated than her fantasies, especially when she learns the painful truth about her father. As they're thrown together fighting an empire that wants them both dead, Philip and Rya must navigate the dangerous space between old wounds and new desire, discovering whether forgiveness—and love—can survive the weight of the past. This is a sweeping sci-fi romance about two broken people finding redemption in each other against impossible odds.
