"You left these in my rover," he stated, shoving my panties into my hand. "Thought I should return them to you."

Theodora Walker never claimed to be perfect. Especially when it came to her love life. The ex-military gunslinger made a name for herself as a galactic freelancer. Handling jobs from hunting down monsters to finding missing girls on her spaceship, Peacemaker, with her closest friends and the best damn crew she could ever want.
As the Captain, she never expected to catch feelings for her mechanic, Mads, and tried to overcorrect it by having a one-night stand with a stranger.
Now faced with more complications than she can handle she has to find a way to navigate her heart while also navigating the galaxy.

The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand

Javier seemed restless when I left him in the alleyway. I couldn’t blame him, not when Zeus 9 was a very different place than Ilios. I told him to stay hidden beside the alleyway and that I’d come back for him once the meeting was over.

If I didn’t make it to the ship, leave without me. 


I’d be fine as long as I knew my crew was safe. That’s what mattered to me. An easy choice for me to make.
