About this book

When a mummified corpse lands on his desk, Theo Petrakos gets way more than he bargained for—a dangerously gorgeous space commander named Jorie who sweeps him into a high-stakes mission to stop a deadly alien infestation from turning Earth into a breeding ground. Their chemistry is electric and their banter even better, but Theo's in over his head in ways he never imagined: part prisoner, part partner, and wholly unprepared for how much this woman from the stars will come to mean to him. Jorie needs his help to save a world and secure her captaincy, but the longer they work together, the more she realizes what's really at stake—and it's personal. It's a delicious blend of space-age danger and down-home charm that'll have you rooting for these two unlikely partners to save the world and find their way to each other.

magneticsultrytensedangerousintoxicating

A blend of sultry R&B and brooding electronic sci-fi tension—think sensual chemistry crackling against noir mystery. Earthy soul meets futuristic danger. Artists like SZA, The Weeknd, and Massive Attack. Steamy but dangerous. Magnetic pull between two worlds colliding.
