Forget Me Not

... Dread raked its way through her chest...

"The wreckage was fused solid. There was no hope."

"Feris, what are you saying?"

"He's dead, Holly. Maxim's gone!"


Maxim Dollavera dead?


Spaceport Adana goes into mourning for their fallen hero but Holly Barberossa refuses to believe it. She wears a Forget-Me-Not(tm)" pheromone pendant to constantly remind her of the love of her life. She keeps herself busy by reporting on the stalled trial of the traitor, Riz Gitto, who she and Maxim had been instrumental in bringing to justice.


The judge, Kasamee Kee, enlists Silas Archimedes, a private eye, to protect Holly without her knowledge while she uses her as bait to flush out the conspirators, chief among them the glamorous socialite and suspected pirate Mischa and her new slave, the very sexy Murukan.


Can Holly solve the mystery of Maxim's disappearance? Despite her undying love for Maxim, will Holly succumb to the charms of Silas or the mysterious Murukan, who strangely reminds her of her lost lover?
