No Nomad can ignore a summons from the Oracle. Their culture demands that they submit to a raiding party to find and mate their one true love. Imprisoned and mistreated by the infamous information broker Fagan, Alexa Maven lives a life that makes the thought of love a painful lie. If she dared to dream, she'd wish for freedom and anonymity; to be alone forever. Mikal Fforde is a captain in the United Space Marine Corps. Love is a distraction he definitely doesn't need right now. He’s a tough fighter, a survivor, and he can’t afford the vulnerability that love brings. But the Oracle has spoken, and two mismatched strangers are about to find their unlikely perfect match – if they survive Fagan! *RAID is a short science fiction romance.
