She was never supposed to see him again.

Sempia has accepted her fate. Born into servitude, she's been trained for one purpose—to belong to a man she'll never choose. When the moment finally arrives to seal her destiny, she never expects the winning bidder to be him—the childhood sweetheart who once promised to come back for her.

Eterin is nothing like she remembers.

Now a battle-scarred warrior running his own intergalactic protection agency, he's spent years clawing his way out of the same brutal circumstances that trapped Sempia. He's crossed the universe to keep his promise—and nothing in the galaxy will stop him from claiming her.

There's just one complication: his partner, Pataryio.

The charming, infuriating mercenary has been by Eterin's side through every dangerous mission—and he wants Sempia too. As the three of them flee across the stars with enemies on their tail, Sempia discovers that the connection between these two men runs deeper than friendship. And rather than coming between them, she might be exactly what they've both been searching for.

But freedom isn't free. The men she left behind won't let her go easily, and loving two outlaws means living on the run.

Some bonds are stronger when forged as three.
