A fake marriage to save the galaxy... what could possibly go wrong?
Spatial anomalies and spies? No problem.
Ending his bachelorhood? May get them all killed.
Captain Leo Ananda has made vows. Protect his crew. Win the war. Never get too close. When MAP Command requests the unthinkable, a political marriage to his haunted first officer, Leo can't refuse.
The beloved captain, desperate to hide his inner turmoil, is suddenly very married to the one woman who sees straight through him.
Commander Alice Chateau doesn't have time for fake vows. She's a secret telepath hunted by creatures no one else can see, monsters threatening to unravel the fabric of the galaxy.
As war ignites and a critical mission plunges them into danger, their pretend marriage begins to feel uncomfortably real. Trust is fragile. Secrets run deep. And in the middle of it all, someone dares to kiss someone they probably shouldn't have.
The galaxy is at war.
Leo and Alice must decide where their true allegiance lies: with MAP Command... or with each other. This wasn't in the Fleet handbook.
Perfect for fans of found family, starship adventure, telepathic tension, and slow-burn sci-fi romance with emotional depth, no spice, and plenty of banter.
