Wanderlust

An interstellar road trip with a killer complication...

Few people get to live their dream life, but I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm Aura Jovax, tour leader for Wanderlust Stellar Adventures, and my current assignment is a tour around the Outer Territories.

Adventure is my middle name.

Until everything goes wrong.

First, my younger sister is joining us on Verada Prime. We have a complicated history, thanks to a childhood full of upheaval, and our parents have made it clear: she travels with me or not at all. Family bonding. Just perfect.

Then there's Kelmar Vandor. We met at a space station, hooked up, and agreed that seeing each other casually worked for us. The passion is spectacular, but I'm not searching for love or a happy ever after. Besides, he's a consultant. How much trouble could he cause?

Apparently, plenty when he turns up uninvited on my tour and implies he has plans well beyond another hookup.

As if juggling family drama and an inconvenient boyfriend isn't enough, one of my passengers died at Kellos Station, and my co-driver may have to leave the tour. Suddenly, my perfect job is turning into a nightmare. So much for those five-star reviews.

The Outer Territories might sound exotic, but this tour is anything but smooth sailing. Someone seems determined to stop us from reaching our destination, and my harmless consultant is hiding a few secrets of his own…
