Gemini: Beyond Fairytales - Paperback

by Catherine Peace (Author)

Being one of the Embassy's glorified treasure-seekers has its perks... Komandan Uriah Jacobs recovers ancient artifacts in exchange for more than just decent pay; he also receives guaranteed protection from his former owners, the nyx...until an emergency landing on a too-familiar colony brings him face-to-face with his past life and something more-a surprisingly priceless treasure in the form of a human woman. A slave to the nyx since childhood... Shadi spends her waking hours in the forge, dreaming of rescuing her brother with the help of a man she once worshipped like a father. A crashed ship on the colony becomes her only hope to escape. But before she can steal the ship, the pilot abducts her. They may be the same species, but will he help her find her Shilah? Their attraction is undeniable... Fighting it seems inconsequential as they evade the nyx's bounty hunter and uncover a conspiracy that shines unwanted light on Shadi's past and reveals the corruption in Uri's beloved Embassy, placing their fledgling love in danger. As the universe systematically falls apart, will Shadi and Uri's newfound passion be enough to keep them alive?
