Kritha swears she's a good luck charm, but little "Miss Fortune" isn't fooling Tryg for a second.
Tryghvias "Tryg" Felixiuh has a fake smile for everyone. Never without a story, he downplays the risk of being a transport spaceship captain. And while he loves his family, he adores his ship, Frelsi, and the freedom she gives him. Unfortunately, his mother is trying to tie him down with a mate. He'll never agree to the life his brothers have been shackled with. Despite his aversion to her plans, he has to get his shipment back to the station and face his future. His dwindling luck disappears when the gorgeous stowaway drops into his already complicated life. He discovers she's got pirates chasing her—and now him.
He's in fear for his life.
He should be more worried about his heart.
