A bounty gone wrong. A stolen artifact. And a chemistry that could set the stars on fire.
Divine—yes, that’s really her name, and no, she didn’t choose it—makes a living one dangerous job at a time. She’s no legend, but she’s still standing, which counts for something in a galaxy that chews up mercenaries for breakfast. But her latest job takes a nosedive when her ‘mild‑mannered historian’ target turns out to be anything but. Dex Hagan is clever, infuriatingly charming, and not above abducting the woman hired to kill him.
Dex never planned to steal an artifact that could shake the foundations of the galaxy or to end up with a stubborn, beautiful assassin on his ship. On the run from fanatical zealots—with government clout and guns—he needs focus, not distraction. Tell that to Divine who has a knack for driving him crazy.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, they race across the stars chasing secrets buried by time and faith. Every planet and space station they visit hides new dangers. Every heartbeat pulls them closer together. And when the truth finally surfaces, they’ll uncover something even more dangerous than a love worth dying for —an ancient god awakening.
Genre: Science Fiction
