Mothership

She survived the crash. She's not sure she deserves to survive him.

Elena Vasquez is the last one left. While her best friends found love aboard the alien starship that rescued them, Elena buries herself in dangerous electrical work-crawling into live power conduits, rewiring weapons arrays, taking every risk that might finally make her useful. Or finally make her pay for surviving when so many others didn't.

Vaxon, Mothership's imposing Security Commander, has watched Elena's death wish for months. When he assigns himself as her permanent partner, she's furious. She doesn't need a 8'8" warrior shadowing her every move, no matter how his protective intensity makes her pulse race or how those cobalt-blue eyes see straight through her defenses.

But when Elena's obsessive scanning detects a signal from Liberty-her destroyed colony ship-everything changes. There might be survivors. There might be answers. There might finally be absolution for the guilt that's eating her alive.

Investigating the derelict nearly kills them both. Trapped in the wreckage of her past with a corrupted AI hunting them, Elena must choose: keep punishing herself for surviving, or fight for the future Vaxon is offering-if they make it out alive.

Because the dead don't need her sacrifice. But the living warrior bleeding beside her? He needs her to choose him.

The stunning conclusion to the Alien Spark series-where survivor's guilt meets unstoppable devotion, and home isn't where you came from, it's who you refuse to leave behind.

Steamy science fiction romance with size difference, enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a warrior who'll breach every defense to prove she deserves to live-and to love.
