About a year ago, Davrel Kolari was captured by a cruel pirate gang called the Rovers. They cut off his arm, turned him into one of their slaves, and made his life hell. Only because he learned how the Rovers wanted to assassinate the entire Kelderan royal family—including the female he’d intended to marry—does he fight to live and find a way to escape. His plan is to warn his old trainer and former general of the danger, extra a promise from them to protect his former love, and then let them do what they will with him. Kajala Mayven has adjusted to being a single mother and living on a distant planet. She often thinks of—and misses—the male she was going to marry, but then remembers her son is her top priority. Just as she cements some plans for her future, her former lover and father of her child shows up out of nowhere. He’s a shadow of the male he’d once been, and seems adamant about pushing her away. However, Kajala isn’t about to give up so easily and is determined to help him heal for the sake of her son. As the pair learn how each other has changed, they both realize that maybe they fit together better now than before. However, unless they can destroy the pirate gang looking for Davrel, they’ll never have a happy future. Will they find a way to destroy the Rovers? Or, will Davrel have to give up everything again to protect his female and baby son?
