She's spent years running from a monster she's never seen. She never expected the most dangerous man in her life to be wearing a badge. Ula has one rule: keep moving. As an Aurani — a Novian whose luck, gold, and beast make her the most valuable asset a criminal operation could own — staying still means getting caught. Harlan Voss has been hunting her across half the galaxy, and she's done everything to stay one step ahead, including something desperate and irreversible to keep him from ever getting what he wants. The Colony was supposed to be a fresh start. Anonymous. Safe. Then a Transdot officer with sharp eyes and no business noticing her noticed her anyway. Austin isn't what Ula needs. He's law enforcement, he's already found the gaps in her file, and he keeps trying to warn her away from the one person on the station who actually feels like he understands her. The red-skinned Novian is charming, familiar, and exactly the kind of safe she's always wanted. Morrigan told her to look for attraction in black. She told her to stay away from red. Ula really should have listened. ebook A Kindle Unlimited exclusive. exerpt
