No Free Lunch

In the lawless edges of the galaxy, nothing is free—not safety,not secrets,and definitely not love.Corbin Nash, smuggler, rogue, and certified trouble magnet, only wants two things: a working ship and five minutes without someone trying to kill him. Instead, he crash-lands into the deadly Carthis Drift with a pissed-off ex–bounty hunter on one side and a mysterious cryo-survivor on the other.Penelope Lovecake swore she'd never fall for another bad boy.Too late.Now she's breaking her own Rules of Engagement one by one as she and Corbin dodge pirate squadrons, Syndicate kill orders, and the kind of chemistry that ruins sworn promises.Then there's Sierra—beautiful, lethal, and awakening.She isn't human.She isn't safe.And the truth buried in her shattered memories could ignite a war the galaxy thought it buried decades ago.Stranded on a hostile frontier world, hunted by smugglers, and thrown into a high-G firefight for survival, Corbin, Penelope, and Sierra must outrun enemies who don't leave witnesses.Because the moment Sierra remembers what she really is…everyone will want her back.And they'll kill the rest of the crew to get her.Smugglers. Ghost Units. Galactic conspiracies. Zero-gravity desire.In the Drift, there's no mercy—and no free lunch.
