They searched for answers and uncovered a nightmare…

Jiang Chen spent eight years haunted by the fragments of a forgotten life and the family she believed was killed. When a mission in enemy space uncovers a hidden research facility and a top-secret program tied to her missing memories, she learns that her past may be more dangerous than the war that destroyed her home.

Ryder Kalani has always been good at three things: fighting, flirting, and keeping his crew alive. As they discover each piece of Jiang’s past, Ryder refuses to let her face her demons alone. 

Jiang thought she was chasing her past, but now her past is chasing her. Can she resist the temptation of returning to the ghost life she’s been grieving, or will she finally embrace the new life she’s been building aboard the Mombasa? 

With Ryder beside her, Jiang must decide whether she’s a victim, a weapon, or something stronger.
