Captain Kerry Vorcek is good at two things: flying his ship and keeping his head down. But his quiet life on the fringes is shattered when he learns his new crewmate, Gracie, isn't just a runaway-she's a genetically engineered weapon carrying a secret that could burn worlds. Now the most powerful agency in the galaxy is hunting them, and they'll stop at nothing to get her back. To protect her, Kerry must become the man he swore he'd never be again. As they dodge pirates, bounty hunters and political assassins, Kerry and his small crew become Gracie's only hope. But their growing connection awakens something deep within her, a biological imperative that is as dangerous as the enemies chasing them. On the run in a hostile galaxy, they'll have to learn that sometimes the only place to call home is the one you build together.
