For two years, Ares Gallo has been ransacking the galaxy for the woman who meant everything to him. They trained together, killed together, loved together, but now, Anicka Dekker doesn't even know who he is. All she knows every time she meets the enigmatic, scarred stranger is that a part of her trusts him. An even larger part desires him. In any and every way she can have him. Ares wants his wife back. Despite the scars that have changed his appearance and the chronic pain that destroyed his career, he follows Anicka from planet to planet, finding her in seedy bars, stately palaces, and everywhere in between. Every time they have a few moments of pure bliss, his hope blooms that this time…things will be different. Then, STRIKE, the organization that wanted them dead, tears them apart, erasing Anicka's memories, and Ares has to start all over again. But even if she can't remember him, he's certain she'll recognize their bond. Sooner or later.

Across the Universe

“You worried for nothing.” Anicka licked over the spot she had bitten. “You feel even better than I fantasized about. But if you don’t let me fuck you soon, things might start getting a little ugly.”


“Anicka…” With her wound so ferociously around him, inside, out, everywhere, he had no hope of keeping up the pretense of their relationship being all business. He wrapped his fingers in her hair, careful not to pull too hard, and sought out her mouth, his tongue teasing hers. She moaned softly, twisting against him, too full of energy to remain still. “Please fuck me.”
