She fights for the freedom of her people. He fights for hers.
Kit is a Lucarn shapeshifter, taken captive as a child and sold to the rich men of the galaxy. 70 years later, she's on the run, a native of nowhere. When she’s discovered stowed away on a small starship, an adventure—and a slow burn, no spice romance—spark when the human Captain, Malcolm Orso, invites her to join his crew.
Danger lurks around every corner, however, as decillionaire Dantor Gretanius dispatches his servants and hired mercenaries to hunt her down. During her travels, Kit learns more about her heritage and is faced with an impossible choice: keep on the run, or embrace her role among her people and risk exposure. Kit struggles with a fear deeper than a return to the clutches of the man who murdered her brother—she knows Malcolm would die for her, and if her cruel former master catches up with them… he just might.
Dantor looked at the bottle of cognac and imagined being with her again, drinking in her form, and took another swig. If he closed his eyes, he could almost feel her in his arms, a beautiful wild thing that he’d have the pleasure of taming once and for all.
His resolve hardened, his mind hell bent on leaving her only one choice: Kitania was going to get on his ship, or people were going to die. And he knew just who to start with—her beloved Captain.
