TalusH

A dead man has just tried to kill Lara. So much for leaving her past behind.

She has a new name, a ship of her own, and a small dragon with far too many opinions. What she doesn’t have is peace. A clone carrying another woman’s memories, Lara is still haunted by the man who used her—and stopping him means returning to the abandoned outpost she barely escaped.

Tals asked for a mission. Newly restored to a human body, the former cyborg is ready for a problem he can solve. Protecting Lara seems straightforward. Figuring out why her smile matters so much is considerably harder.

But the outpost isn’t as dead as it should be. Neither is its master. As time shifts around them and familiar faces conceal dangerous intentions, Lara and Tals must hold on to each other—or risk being stranded in different moments forever.

For Lara, survival means trusting the memories she’s tried to bury. For Tals, it means facing a past no amount of cybernetic strength can defeat. And just when they begin to want a future together, their mission threatens to erase it.

A perilously fun science-fiction romance about second chances, dangerous memories, and finding someone worth holding on to.
