She was off-limits. He was her last hope. Together, they might lose more than their hearts. When rogue pilot Jack Marsden receives a cryptic message from his late friend, Michael Mattix, it pulls him into the path of Michael's sister, Alexis —a sharp, determined woman on a mission to uncover the truth behind her brother's death. Thrust into the galaxy's outer fringe, Jack and Alexis are drawn into a dangerous game of lies, betrayal, and a mysterious theft ring that has far more at stake than missing cargo. With powerful enemies closing in, they'll have to rely on each other to survive—and confront the painful secrets that threaten to destroy them both. As sparks fly and tensions rise, falling for each other may be the most dangerous move of all. Because Michael's death was only the beginning.
