BOOKS

In the chaotic fringes of the galaxy, where stars flicker weakly and trouble is a constant companion, Ophelia Knight commands the Mistress of Mayhem, a cutting-edge starship with a one-of-a-kind AI. Her mission? To find her parents, who vanished under suspicious circumstances. Standing in her way are unknown forces that span their dark corner of the galaxy and would go to any length not just to stop her, but to take her ship, her inheritance, and maybe even her life.

Narrowly avoiding a crash landing on the planet Taidar, a haven of piracy, corruption, and dark dealings, Ophelia unwittingly acquires a battered slave named Jorian. Unknown to her, he is an experimental soldier with a dangerous secret. Together they embark on a journey of self-discovery, fraught with tension, lust, and anger, as they fight for survival. In an existence where trust is scarce and danger ever-present, survival will depend on the most fragile of things: their human connection. Together, they must confront the harsh truths of their reality or be consumed by the chaos surrounding them as they struggle to survive both Taidar, and each other.

Captain Ophelia Knight commands the Mistress of Mayhem, a cutting-edge prototype starship powered by a razor-sharp AI. On the lawless rim of the galactic arm, she and her crew survive on dangerous jobs, stubborn grit, and the fragile hope their pasts stay buried.

Jorian was the mistake she never meant to make; accidentally bought at auction and now working to buy back his freedom. He's dangerous, observant, and far more than the ship's mechanic. He's also the one man Ophelia can't ignore… even as he begins growing dangerously close to someone else.

When a crippled transport nearly burns through a planet's atmosphere, Ophelia makes the split-second decision to save it. The rescue paints a target on their hull and powerful enemies take notice.

Threats are made. Lines are crossed. Someone ends up dead. With enemies closing in from every side, the crew faces an impossible escape; one that could save them all… or bury them forever.

A slow-burn, steamy sci-fi romance packed with found-family loyalty, dangerous desire, raw emotion, and a cliffhanger that won't let go.
