"You left these in my rover," he stated, shoving my panties into my hand. "Thought I should return them to you." 
"Do you want a thank you?" I snapped, quickly tucking the fabric into my pocket before any of my crew could see.

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 glanced back to the sliding doors, now numerous goons guarding the exit. My gun was only a few feet from me. All it took was a well-timed lunge. 


Nine men in this room including the Pantomath. Not enough for each of them, but I didn’t need it. The gears turned in my head, a plan forming in a few seconds. 


Then there was the question of Javier by my feet. How the hell was I going to drag his massive body out of this club with henchmen on my tail? I didn’t have super strength, only an impeccable aim.


Wait. I mulled over the conversation. The Pantomath was cocky, and it helped that I played stupid. It’s amazing how much he lets slip out of his lips.


The Pantomath said that the serum would wear off shortly. I needed to stall. 


“Don’t even think about it, Theodora,” The Pantomath said, clearly pleased with himself. “I forgot to tell you that STC answers to me. Your ship is grounded until I say otherwise.”
