Never trust anyone allergic to cats. Captain Cassidy Ryan lives by that motto, especially when her spaceship, The Fury, comes with three genetically-enhanced felines who can communicate through neurotransmitters—and have plenty to say. Cassidy’s crew may toe the line with their legal cargo runs, but when the Consortium Government takes control of her ship, she’s ready to tell the infuriatingly gorgeous Squadron Commander Branson Goody exactly where to shove his orders. Branson Goody’s covert missions are designed to protect the Consortium's fragile peace across the galaxies. Failure isn’t an option, but neither is ignoring Cassidy, the stubborn and captivating captain whose past may hold secrets as dangerous as the conflict he’s trying to prevent. Add three sharp-clawed cats with plenty of cattitude to the mix, and Branson finds himself questioning whether the real battle lies in the stars—or aboard The Fury. As old grudges reignite and conspiracies threaten to plunge two galaxies into war, Cassidy and Branson must decide if their undeniable connection can withstand betrayal, secrets, and interstellar chaos. The fate of peace—and their hearts—rests on a delicate balance… and a few furry allies with claws in the game.
