Stealing Sky

When the powerful conquer weaker worlds, all that's left is stealing sky. Having returned home from his last tour of duty in the Duke's elite Red Flag Squadron, Skai Westford notes with irritation Cassie's manipulative flirtations with his brother. When Skai takes a stand, he finds himself far from home and SOL. Duke's spoiled daughter to some, scandalous socialite to others, Cassie Brintman is set on proving all opinions about her wrong. She just has to escape punishment on her Gran's swamp planet first. But plots and plans which take advantage of the sweetest of farm folk are destined to go awry, and Cassie finds there are worse prison wardens in space.
Trapped in a secret war of imperial wills and insatiable revenge, Cassie and Skai can't decide exactly where to place their fealty, faith, or guns.
