Nightchaser: The Endeavour Trilogy, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

A convict and an enchanting rogue hold the fate of the universe in their hands....

Wanted criminal Tess Bailey and her band of merry thieves are desperate and on the run. The most powerful ruler in the universe wants them dead, and while he hunts them, the stolen ship they escaped on is running out of steam. Their one offer of help comes from Shade Ganavan, a tall, dark and arrogant stranger with ambiguous motivations. 

At her side is gentle, blind Shiori, Fiona, an ex-rebel fighter with a rage so strong it could bring generals to their knees, and determined Jax and Miko, steering their ship through the depths of space. Together, their friendship gives them strength, but will their bond be strong enough to defeat an enemy whose ruthlessness is legendary?  

As their luck runs out, Tess will have to choose an ending to her story and whether to fight against or yield to a temptation so strong, it threatens to cleave the land of stars in two.
