A ship engineer with a crush, a dark past, and the shy alien doctor desperate to refuse their bond...

What was supposed to be a routine trip turns into a rescue mission, and I'm trapped behind enemy lines with an obnoxiously flirty pilot and a mysterious alien doctor, who's doing everything in his power to avoid me.

His cybernetic implants mark him as a veteran haunted by a brutal war and bring ghosts from his past down onto our little ship.

In the chaos, Victor quickly reveals his protective streak. One minute he acts like I don't exist, the next he kisses me until I forget my own name.

While I trust him, I can't help but feel he's keeping a huge secret from me...

One that could destroy us both.
