Nomad

A Sci Fi Alien Romance

He shattered her past. Now he’s her only future.

Smuggler Lira Varn lives by one rule: trust no one. Especially not Vex Krelges, the ruthless Vorex mercenary who sold her out and left her for dead. For eighteen months, she has survived in the galaxy’s grimiest corners, but her latest job, a data drive worth a fortune, has put a Syndicate bounty on her head.

Stranded and hunted on the lawless Maelstrom Station, Lira comes face to face with the ghost from her past. Vex is back, as handsome and dangerous as ever, and he wants the same prize she does.

Forced into a volatile alliance, they are a spark away from an inferno. Every shared glance is a battle, every accidental touch a reminder of a passion that once consumed them. With assassins at their back and an undeniable fire between them, they must choose between trusting the one person who broke them or facing certain death alone.

This book has themes of enemies to lovers, forced proximity, alien romance, space opera, touch her and you die, he betrayed her, hurt/comfort, found family, morally grey characters, and gritty sci-fi.
