Lilas never expects salvation to come in the form of a ruthless space pirate. Auctioned off to an alien harem, she has steeled herself for a life of captivity—until Razion and his crew storm the ship, taking her as their own spoils. But freedom with the Zaruxian rogue comes with its own dangers. As she fights for a place among his outlaw band, her walls crumble, and she surrenders to the fire Razion awakens in her. Yet, when she overhears a secret that makes her doubt everything they have built, fear overpowers love, and she runs before he can shatter her.

Razion lives by a simple code: take from the wicked and answer to no one. But Lilas is unlike any prize he has ever claimed—fierce, intelligent, and intoxicating. With her at his side, he imagines a life beyond the chase. Then she vanishes, leaving nothing but questions and a void. Determined to find her, his pursuit leads him to a forgotten past and a family he never knew existed. As old enemies emerge and war looms, Razion finds himself caught between duty, destiny, and the one female who still holds his heart in her grasp. And this time, he will do whatever it takes to prove that love is worth any cost.
