About this audiobook
Merle Waller is eleven days behind on his ship loan and hauling a "dormant" cargo crate that's breathing at body temperature — so when a bar fight lands a runaway bartender named Alya in his copilot seat, it's just one more bad decision in a very bad week. But Alya isn't running from a bar tab. She's fleeing a political marriage, a fortune, and a fiancé who never raises his voice and never gives up. Between smuggling runs, a sarcastic ship AI, an escaped alien stowaway with a taste for chaos, and a shock collar that reaches farther than it should, Merle and Alya have to out-fly, out-talk, and occasionally out-fight everyone converging on them — all while falling for each other one mangled idiom at a time. The Long Haul is a dark sci-fi romantic comedy about debt, collars, and the unexpected intimacy of running for your life together.
