The critically acclaimed author of Polaris Rising

takes readers on an exciting journey with the start of her brand-new series

about a female bounty hunter and the man who is her sworn enemy.

“Jessie Mihalik is an

author to watch.” — Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Octavia Zarola would do anything to keep her tiny,

close-knit bounty hunting crew together—even if it means accepting a job from

Torran Fletcher, a ruthless former general and her sworn enemy. When Torran

offers her enough credits to not only keep her crew afloat but also hire

someone to fix her ship, Tavi knows that she can’t refuse—no matter how much

she’d like to.

With so much money on the line, Torran and his crew insist

on joining the hunt. Tavi reluctantly agrees because while the handsome, stoic

leader pushes all of her buttons—for both anger and desire—she’s endured worse,

and the massive bonus payment he’s promised for a completed job is reason

enough to shut up and deal.

But when they uncover a deeper plot that threatens the

delicate peace between humans and Valoffs, Tavi suspects that Torran has been

using her as the impetus for a new war. With the fate of her crew balanced on a

knife’s edge, Tavi must decide where her loyalties lie—with the quiet Valoff

who’s been lying to her, or with the human leaders who left her squad to die on

the battlefield. And this time, she’s put her heart on the line.
