Talena wants freedom, Dack wants to save her, and Carmen wants to protect the two people she never stopped loving.

Talena Spenser’s quiet life is simple: all she has to do is sell her artwork, avoid male Cy’ren, and survive the relentless hunger of her phase. Everything changes when a bloodied runner crashes into her workshop and desperately needs her aid.

Dack only meant to free Talena, believing that he was rescuing her from slavery when he dragged her away from her old life, but rescuing her throws him into the one danger he never expected—falling in love again. Her scent ignites his instincts, her trust undoes his control, and navigating the tangled mess of Cy’ren politics makes every choice feel like a problem with no safe solution.

Carmen Hawke joined the Cy’ren resistance as captain of the flagship Talon after a munitions accident sent her Alliance career up in flames. When her former lover Dack returns from a mission with Carmen’s childhood friend and first love, Talena, in tow, the temptation to allow someone—or two someones—close to her again cracks her emotional armor.

When assassins start hunting Talena, her buried past begins to surface, revealing a secret tied to the most powerful house on Cyprena. If Dack, Talena, and Carmen can’t uncover the truth in time, they’ll lose more than their freedom—they’ll lose the future they never dared imagine.

First in the Cy’ren Rising trilogy, Nightfall is an action-packed spicy sci-fi romance that’s scorching enough to fire your engines into overdrive.
