I'm finally free, but can I love again? My son and I are safe now on Raider and building a new life free from sorcery after being held prisoner for years. But Raider has problems of its own—insurgents determined to usurp their leader. Commander Dordus has it under control. He's the second in command and a doting father to his own daughter—and as hot as they come, but even more important, he makes me feel safe. Our friendship makes adjusting to life on Raider simple. But could we be more? The last time I risked my heart, I lost everything and spent years paying the price. I know Dordus and the way he loves makes me certain he'll never betray me. Dordus will do whatever it takes to keep me and Dylan safe. But how can he do that when he's fighting against sorcery? I can't risk falling into magical danger again, but now that I've given my heart to Dordus and his daughter, I don't know how we can walk away.
