He's a battle-hardened alien admiral with nothing left to lose. She's the Earth-born engineer with DNA the enemy would kill for. Together, they might be the galaxy's last hope, or its undoing.
For years, Admiral Rorkk Ad-Nohrr of the Rotari has defended his world from the brutal Krylan invaders. Betrayed by the woman he once loved and weary of a war with no end, he's nearly lost the will to fight, until intelligence reveals the enemy's next target: a human woman whose rare DNA could supercharge their bioengineered Nzumbe soldiers.
Aurora Levers-Bond thought her new post as Chief Engineer on Aerospace Nine would catapult her into a dazzling future among the stars. Instead, she's stuck on a rusting space station with glitchy droids, fresh-out-of-academy techs, and no end to the problems, until a night at an off-world pleasure dome turns deadly. Abducted, Aurora wakes to find herself caught in the middle of a galactic power struggle.
When Rorkk intercepts the Krylan plot and takes Aurora into custody, he expects a standard mission. What he doesn't expect is her fire, her intelligence, or the scorching attraction that threatens to upend his every rule.
Hunted across the stars and entangled in secrets that could reshape the war, Rorkk and Aurora must decide if they're willing to risk everything, not just for victory, but for each other.
The Krylans want her DNA. Rorkk wants all of her. And in the cold void of space, desire may be their most dangerous weapon.
