"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

I stared at the fucking call button, stuck in a loop of wondering whether I should call Theo or not. The smell of blood permeated the ship. I knew it was Theo’s. And the fact that she came back to the ship bleeding, injured again fucking killed me. 


Shaking my head, I turned back to my project, fiddling with a loose screw in our hyperdrive. With my hypersensitive senses, I could hear even the quietest rattle. Feel the slightest offset in airflow. I was tapped into the Peacemaker.


Even so, I couldn’t stop thinking about Theo. 


I worried about her all the fucking time. Getting stuck in gun fights. Meeting with dangerous men. The woman lived on the edge.
