He thinks she’s the most dangerous thing in the galaxy.
She thinks they’re friends.
They are both correct.
Lily has killed exactly one person, stolen exactly one spaceship, and is having—by her own estimation—an excellent year.
Her new alien coworker does not share this assessment.
After two galactic years with only her ship’s AI for company, Lily just needs a job. A purpose. Maybe, if she’s very lucky… a friend.
What she gets is Khar.
Former Intergalactic Legion.
Apex warrior of his species.
Completely convinced he is the most formidable being in every room he enters.
He’s not wrong.
Until Lily.
His unmatched gym record? Gone.
His flawless work performance? Hers now.
His ego? In emergency reconstruction.
Forced to work alongside her, Khar can’t decide what’s more dangerous—her effortless ability to outperform him at everything… or the fact that she hasn’t noticed she’s doing it.
Lily, meanwhile, is just thrilled to have made a friend.
She has absolutely no idea.
Because Khar does notice.
And something ancient and irreversible has already begun.
For his kind, attachment isn’t a feeling.
It’s a biological event.
Permanent. Possessive. Inevitable.
The strongest warrior in the galaxy is falling.
She won’t see it coming—
until she can’t escape it.
