"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

It felt like yesterday I was dodging military phasers and jumping off skyscrapers. Fighting with my dad. Avoiding Mads. Lying to my brother about my relationships. Having flashbacks every other day from wartimes.


But now I was sitting around a fire pit on my family farm while we passed around a bottle of starshine and reminisced about odd jobs. Mads to my left. Javi to my right. Daxton across from me laughing about something with my dad, arm around Ellie.


Benji complimented my mom’s cooking. Mads joined the conversation, both dimples proud and on display.


Unguarded. Just as visibly happy as I felt inside. Playfully nudging Ellie in the ribs and making her release a big belly laugh.


My heart flushed with warmth. I loved him so much.
