Publisher's summary

Winter's Orbit meets Ilona Andrews in this sexy enemies-to-lovers romance.

“Constance Fay...wildly combines heart-stirring romance with a high-stakes adventure in a wonderfully deep space odyssey. This passionate story is a heady mix of suspense, romance, and intrigue, all set within an intricate and intriguing new world!”--Rebecca Zanetti, New York Times bestselling author of You Can Hide

The captain of a ragtag mercenary ship is given an offer she can't refuse by the ruthless head of an intergalactic noble family. The only catch? She'll have to team up with his son—an upsettingly competent hardbody with his own agenda—to get her reward.

She’s got a ramshackle spaceship, a misfit crew, and a big problem with its sexy newest member…

Temperance Reed, banished from the wealthy and dangerous Fifteen Families, just wants to keep her crew together after their feckless captain ran off with the intern. But she’s drowning in debt and revolutionary new engine technology is about to make her beloved ship obsolete.

Enter Arcadio Escajeda. Second child of the terrifying Escajeda Family, he’s the thorn in Temper’s side as they’re sent off on a scouting mission on the backwater desert planet of Herschel 2. They throw sparks every time they meet but Temper’s suspicions of his ulterior motives only serve to fuel the flames between them.

Despite volcanic eruptions, secret cultists, and deadly galactic fighters, the greatest threat on this mission may be to Temper’s heart.

Sexy Sci Fi Series

Disclaimer: Author is the friend of a friend which is how I heard about this novel. I haven't seen the author in nearly 20 years so I would like to think I am not very biased. (Connie, if you see this - sorry about the fish)

This is a witty, science fiction space faring adventure full of self depreciating humor, steamy romance and an interesting world. Firefly by way of Sam and Diane (I think I am dating myself) It was an entertaining quick read.

The narrator is excellent, voicing the characters and bringing life to the narration.

If romance and sci far are your jam - this will more than fit the bill.

Highly enjoyable sci-fi romance.

I bought this book on a whim at B&N and I loved it so much that I got the audiobook version as well to listen too. Well-written, well-paced and highly enjoyable sci-fi romance. I loved the found family, enemies to lovers, forced proximity tropes. The action-adventure portion of the book was quite well done. I’ve pre-ordered the authors next book in the series. The audiobook narrator was excellent and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great space adventure and love story in one

A fun space adventure with a great crew, throw in some romance and betrayal, add some surprise twists and you get a fun time. Really enjoyed it, and the voices.
