David McKinley thought he had the upper hand when he was tipped off about the assassin coming to end his life. He never expected to be captivated by her strength and ethereal beauty, but the moment they met, he felt something electric wake up inside his soul. When Kimber Joule shows up, he finds himself drawn to her and the immediate connection between them. To his surprise, at the promise of a quieter life on the other side of their simple mission, she agrees to spare his life and help him find the person who wants him dead.

Kimber is not just any woman; she is the last of her people, seeking her place in the universe. Together, they make a plan to find the person responsible for ordering the contract on David's life. But a simple mission turns into the fight of their lives as they uncover a plot to resurrect the vengeful queen of a warrior race that once ruled over the galaxy.

If they fail to stop the mastermind, the stars will fall to the cruelty of the Amphiri once more. And even if they succeed, they still face the rising threat of the Galactic Forces being weaponized against those who are perceived to be leeches on society. David and Kimber must make a choice: run and survive, or stay and defend the galaxy from an entry-level dictator on his way to the top.
