He came for the gold. He stayed for her. He never expected to share her with his second-in-command.

Lucia has spent her entire life as property. Born into servitude, sold to the highest bidder, destined to belong to a monster. She's memorized every rule, perfected every submissive gesture, buried every dream.

Until him.

Raider is supposed to be just another guard. But the way he looks at her—like she's a person instead of a possession—ignites something Lucia thought she'd killed long ago.

Hope.

When violence erupts, and Raider reveals his true identity—a space pirate who came to rob her master blind—he offers her the impossible: escape. One reckless decision later, Lucia finds herself among the stars for the first time, free but utterly unprepared for what comes next.

Because Raider isn't the only one who wants her.

Ewan, the ship's battle-scarred second-in-command, has spent years guarding his heart. He shares a complicated history with his captain—and a growing fascination with the woman Raider risked everything to save. But Ewan doesn't want to compete for her.

He proposes something different. Something that could give all three of them the family none of them ever had.

If Lucia can learn to trust again. If Raider can let go of his guilt. If Ewan can open the parts of himself he's kept locked away.

And if they can outrun the enemies hunting them across the galaxy.
