About the Book
A life-and-death battle where giving up the ghost has a whole new meaning...
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.
