Accepting New Space

The sensors under their skin stop going off. At first, Nancy thinks it's a trick. Waking up in another Enclosure with her assigned partner, she braces for whatever new absurdity awaits them.

Then her spaceship lands on a planet—one of many within the Enclosure. What's provided isn't command, but choice. Freedom becomes the test. With limited instructions and no guarantees, aliens are no longer pulling the strings. It's up to them to make the life they want.

Spanning years, the trilogy's conclusion follows cross-planet trade runs, dangerous encounters with pirates, covert assignments from Parliament, and the recognition that their old lives are forever out of reach.

Love grows. New partnerships are crafted. And old alliances resurface in startling ways.
