Touch of Starlight
About
Amanda Collins wakes up in a cryopod with no memory of how she got there—and forty-five seconds until her oxygen runs out.
And she's not alone—three other women are trapped in the same nightmare, all of them modified with technology they don't understand, all of them lightyears from home.
When V'Arian pilot X'Ariv Jah'nar investigates an abandoned ship, Amanda triggers something in him that shouldn't be possible—a bond his people lost in a plague sixty years ago, a bond that changes everything. Instead of following quarantine protocols, he hides them. Four human women disguised as religious pilgrims, protected by lies that can't possibly hold.
To survive, Amanda must trust the alien pilot who's risking treason to protect her. To find answers, she'll have to trace a conspiracy that spans star systems. And to go home, she might have to give up the only person who makes her feel safe in a universe gone mad.
For fans of Ruby Dixon and Nalini Singh comes a sci-fi romance with bite—where found family meets political intrigue, and love means choosing to transform rather than simply survive.
Touch of Starlight is the first in the Project Chrysalis series where each woman's fight for love and freedom becomes part of a larger battle to expose the conspiracy and find their way home.
