Romance Paranormal, Science Fiction
After a decade of cruising interstellar patrol ships,
former Captain Chasidah Bergren, onetime Pride of the Sixth
Fleet, finds herself court-martialed for a crime she didn’t
commit—and shipped off to a remote prison planet from which
no one ever escapes. But when she kills a brutal guard in
an act of self-defense, someone even more dangerous emerges
from the shadows.
Gabriel Sullivan—alpha mercenary, smuggler, and rogue—is
supposed to be dead. Yet now this seductive ghost from
Chaz’s past is offering her a ticket to freedom—for a
price. Someone in the Empire is secretly breeding jukors:
vicious and uncontrollable killing machines that have long
been outlawed. Gabriel needs Chaz to help him stop the
practice before it decimates imperial space. For Chaz, it’s
a matter of survival. For Sully it means facing the truth
about who—and what—he really is. The mission means putting
their lives on the line—but the tensions that heat up
between them may be the riskiest part of all. For both of
them, it’s a life-and-death battle where giving up the
ghost just took on a whole new meaning…
