About this book

When Devin Guthrie finally crosses paths with Kaidee, the sharp-witted pilot he's never stopped wanting, it's under the worst possible circumstances—his young nephew has vanished and everything his family stands for is crumbling. She's never been the "acceptable" choice for a man of his station, but with danger closing in and duty warring against desire, Devin realizes some rules are meant to be broken. Together they'll navigate impossible odds, a dangerous mission through the stars, and a chemistry that's been simmering for two years, discovering that the greatest risk might be admitting what their hearts have always known. This is a sweeping sci-fi romance that proves sometimes the most forbidden love is the one worth fighting for.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
yearningdefiantsensualcosmicsmoldering

Forbidden desire across the stars—sultry R&B and electronic soul with cinematic sci-fi undertones. Yearning vocals, sensual beats, and atmospheric synths. Think FKA twigs, SZA, and The Weeknd. Defiant, passionate, and achingly intimate.
