Treva Massey thought she was chasing a bounty.
Turns out, she was running straight into a war.
Treva doesn't hide.
Not from criminals.
Not from syndicates.
And definitely not from a price on her head.
But when a routine hunt drags her into a deadly political conflict between Sector 7 command, criminal syndicates, and corrupt federal authorities, lying low suddenly becomes a survival strategy.
Too bad she's terrible at it.
With her android partner legally classified as excessive, a newly freed smuggler who attracts trouble like gravity, and her closest ally Ty Granger watching her trust the wrong people one too many times, Treva finds herself caught inside a conspiracy bigger than any bounty she's ever chased.
Ambassadors become targets.
Federal operations spiral out of control.
And every mission pulls her deeper into a setup designed to burn everyone she cares about.
Now Treva faces the one thing she's never been good at:
Trust.
Because the people giving the orders are hiding something.
The criminals hunting her want answers she doesn't have.
And the truth threatens to destroy the partnership that's kept her alive this long.
Treva and Ty have survived bounty hunters, warships, syndicates, and enough double-crosses to fill a prison transport.
What they may not survive...
is each other.
As enemies close in and one final high-risk escort mission turns into a sector-wide reckoning, Treva must decide what loyalty really costs.
Because in her universe, there's no such thing as a clean getaway.
Only the next move.
Not So Ladylike is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller packed with tactical action, outlaw ports, dangerous conspiracies, sharp banter, found-family loyalty, and a heroine who hits back harder every time the galaxy takes its shot.
