About this book

When a fugitive starship captain gets word that her brother faces execution, she and her telepathic lover are forced out of hiding and back into a dangerous game of empire politics and deep-space intrigue. With a serial killer hunting human women, rogue genetic experiments running wild, and her ex-husband determined to recapture her, Chaz discovers that survival means navigating far more than external threats—it means confronting the fractures threatening to tear apart the one relationship that's kept her alive. This is a high-stakes space opera that balances adrenaline-pumping action with the tender, complicated intimacy of two people who've sacrificed everything for each other, only to face their greatest test yet. Sinclair delivers the kind of sprawling, immersive adventure that will have you rooting for Chaz and Sully while biting your nails over what choice might cost them everything.

yearningdangeroussensualdefianthaunting

Tension-soaked synthwave and dark electronic beats mixed with sultry R&B and moody alternative rock. Fugitive energy meets forbidden romance—think Massive Attack, FKA twigs, and The Killers. Intimate yet dangerous, with an undercurrent of cosmic dread and smoldering desire.
