Free Black Canary

He took her freedom. She’ll take his heart.



Major Melodie Jaxxon was never supposed to be here. One moment, she was searching for a cure to the virus threatening her world—the next, she was a prisoner in a strange land, a world where humans, or Canariae, are nothing more than servants, pets, or trophies.



She refuses to be any of those things.



Malec, the empire’s most ruthless commander, sees her defiance as a challenge. Unlike the others, she doesn’t cower—she fights, she argues, and worst of all, she makes him feel. He should break her, tame her like all the others. Instead, he finds himself wanting her in ways he doesn’t understand. Possessing her is no longer enough—he wants her to choose him.



But Melodie has only one goal: escape.



She will play his game, let him think he’s winning, even let him believe she might want him back. But the moment he lowers his guard, she will take everything from him.



Yet as lines blur between captor and captive, between obsession and something deeper, Melodie begins to wonder… what happens when the man she hates is the only one who can truly set her free?
