Anna thought her night couldn't get worse.

She was wrong.

After receiving some heartbreaking news and reading Maeve's worrying text, Anna rushes from Advena to find her friend. Instead, she spots something in the street shadows - something tall, something muscled, something with horns, something that seems like a bad dream. When she wakes up again, it's inside a cell - on a spaceship.

As if that's not bad enough, Anna isn't the only one locked up.

When he sees the tiny human female, the Roth pilot Callan knows that he can't leave Earth without her. But he can't protect her from his ship's crew, either; at least, not alone. When he enlists help from his Prince, Alcide, the pair do everything they can to make Anna safe, including keeping her in the only place the crew can't reach - a high-security cell. Neither the Prince nor the pilot is prepared for the way their feelings for Anna test their lifelong friendship - and bring to light the tension simmering between them.

But Anna isn't their only complication.

When the Roth leave the human female in the cell with him, Vesper - professional thief and starling trapped in an inconvenient meatsuit - welcomes the break from boredom. As time passes, and Anna becomes more than just a diversion, he begins to fear that she might force him to develop something he thought he'd never have - a conscience.

Can Anna bring them all together - and find her freedom, too?

Dark Space is the third novel in the high-heat Advena Abductions series.
