Bryce Wheeler spent his career telling people the truth about their medical conditions. Nobody warned him he’d need that skill to survive being taken from his life.
Days ago, he was an ER nurse in Spokane. Now he’s salvage… property with no paperwork, claimed by a Caspian scavenger with two missing claws and a debt he won’t discuss. Ta’rexilan didn’t ask for a human. He quietly wanted extra hands that could help break the monotony on a ship that answers to no one.
What neither of them planned: Bryce is good at surviving and proved necessary, even. And somewhere between a hundred salvage jobs and one quiet dinner in an empty mess hall, ‘asset’ stopped being the word Ta’rexilan meant.
Ta’rexilan was raised to value nothing he couldn’t sell. Bryce is about to teach him what happens when something can’t be priced.
A slow-burn MM sci-fi romance with a touch-starved alien lead, a found-family crew, a nurse hero whose competence is the whole seduction, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
