Returning to Earth is risky, but nothing in life is without risk. I’m not afraid anymore. All I feel is determination to win. I won’t stop until SpaceTech has been destroyed.

Book Description:

The moment I realized I had to go back to Earth, I panicked.

It wasn’t a little bit of panic. It was the kind that sucked the air and light from the room and made my body go cold with sweat and fear. I knew that if I did this, if I went back, then I had a shot of saving everyone—Earthers, Aunare, everyone—but it could cost me everything and everyone I love. And it could cost me my life.

But that moment of panic passed. It was still an insane, stupid, deadly idea, but the more I thought about it, the more I knew going back to Earth was the only plan that made sense.

Lorne agrees that this is the right plan, but he wants to come with me. We’re married now. A team. A unit. Where I go, he goes. It was in our marriage vows. And while I love that, I know that going to Earth will hurt him. He’ll want to see where I lived, how I survived, and seeing, knowing, understanding my past better will only hurt him. And yet, I don’t have a better plan.

There will be no hiding there. Not anymore. Everyone on Earth knows my face.

The vids of what happened on Abaddon and Sel’Ani have played throughout the known universe for months. But seeing those vids opened the Earthers’ eyes. They realized that I’d been fighting for them for years before I left. I’d taught martial arts, patrolled the streets, and helped save as many of them as I could. And now, somehow, my story has inspired Eathers to speak up and act out.

My name has become the rallying cry of the revolution.

Excerpt:

“You ready?”
He took two quick steps, closing the distance between us. He took my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. It
took me a second to let everything go—the battle, the war, Earth, my fears for the Crew—and then everything disappeared
but him. I settled into the kiss, and my hands wove through his hair, pulling him closer. Needing more. Wanting more.
And then before I knew what happened, he stepped back and I was left realizing that I would never have enough of him.
No matter what happened, there would never be enough time. I could spend eternity with him and it wouldn’t be long
enough.
He looked into my eyes, and I wondered if he saw what I was thinking. If he felt the same way. But before I could even
think about asking, he gave me a serious look that sent my stomach tumbling.
“Ready?” he asked.
No. No, I wasn’t. I wanted to stay here with him. Somewhere in the craziness of the last few days—the estate under attack,
boarding a hostile SpaceTech ship, psychically hearing a baby in distress—I’d lost sight of that. Of how much I needed
him. I’d been insane to think that I could go back to Earth without him.
“Promise me something?” I asked.
“Anything. Name it.”
I loved his instant agreement, but he really shouldn’t do that. What if I asked for something crazy?
But I wasn’t. Not really. “That no matter how much we argue about what we do next, or how to go about something that
you won’t get so mad that we lose each other.”
He cupped my face in his hand. “I lost you once. It’s not happening again. Why do you think I’m insistent that I go with
you?”
I closed my eyes and leaned into his hand. “Thank you.” He knew what I needed even when I didn’t know it. I had so
many feelings about going back to Earth—none of them good—and I’d wanted to spare him from that and from the
danger.
But I needed him there.
I wanted him there.
We were stronger together, and he’d known that. He always
seemed to put that first, and I needed to do a better job of remembering
it.
“Come on.” Lorne stepped away and gripped my hand. “We’ll do this together, as we should do all things.”

He was right. Of course he was right. Where I went, he went. My battles were his, and his were mine. We would do this
together.
