He is a weapon of war, half-man and half-machine.
She is the only one who can fix him.
Commander Leon Corvan rules the Vindicator with an iron fist and a failing cybernetic arm. The ghost in his machine is driving him to the brink of madness, and he demands the fleet’s top bio-engineer to silence the tremors. He expects cold efficiency. He gets Ruby Vance.
Ruby is brilliant, skittish, and terrified of the very technology that keeps Leon alive. Yet, locked together in the deep void, the friction between the stern Commander and his reluctant specialist ignites an undeniable spark. Beneath Leon’s cold chromium exterior lies a man starving for touch, and his obsession with Ruby quickly breaks every protocol in the manual.
When a hostile alien ambush leaves them stranded and fighting for survival, the mechanical embrace of duty turns into a passionate claim. Leon will destroy galaxies to keep her safe, but their illicit connection bears a consequence neither anticipated. Now, carrying the Commander’s child, Ruby must decide if she can love a man who was built to destroy.
