Aldrich Wishart, an established smuggler, captains the Melvina across the colonies in the Leo Constellation. Lady Tisserande, the constellation’s leader, is eager to channel his skills, and his affections, for her own designs. While the work is boarder line ethical, the crew is unable to turn aside the compensation. Running weapons to rebels, moving contraband into forbidden zones, and confronting pirates that stand against Lady Tisserande’s interests all collide to challenge the crew of the Melvina. Amid this constant interstellar conflict, Captain Wishart at last connects with someone he wants to build another life around. But she is soon kidnapped, forcing him to decide to what ends he will go to recover this potential love. Will he risk his honor, his ship, or his crew?
