"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

The Pantomath did exactly what I expected him to do. Try to outsmart me. Assume that he was a few steps in front of me, but really, I held all the cards. The one thing I didn’t predict was the fact that Mads knew him.


Seeing the warlock dragged up demons. I could see them in Mads’s eyes. Those soulful eyes became stormy, a war raging inside of him. I could feel it. The abyss opened up for him. The same nightmares, but a different fear.


I couldn’t help him, but Javier did. I watched Javier pull him from the darkness as Mads had helped me. We were all connected. All three of us. I could feel it deep in my chest when Mads came back to me.


As badly as I wanted to hold him, comfort him, be his anchor, I couldn’t. I had to play the Pantomath like a fiddle, buy enough time for someone to hear our distress beacon. The message played on repeat, hitting any ship docked at Aeolus.
