Bernadette hires a new crewmember
Halmiko scowled at his borrowed clothes and scatter of belongings. “I guess welcome to the crew, then. I don’t have a lot of choices, do I?”
Bernadette told herself his grouchy attitude was due to losing his property rather than having to work for her. She hoped that was the case.
She covered the sting his unhappiness had dealt her ego by heading to the bathroom. “I’ll be quick so you can clean up too. Then we’ll report to the bay and give Kom the happy news his fighting buddy is sticking around.”
“At least my new quarters and roommate are nice.”
From the bath’s doorway, she glanced over her shoulder to see his leer. “Calm your jets, crewman. One night doesn’t mean a relationship. You’ll have your own quarters, separate from mine. Clear?”
His scowl returned, and he threw his clothes onto the bed. He followed that by kicking his handheld across the floor. “Aye, Captain.”
So temperamental. So different from Doljen.

She searched for the man she couldn’t forget and found a shattered clan she couldn’t resist.
Captain Bernadette Miller was a nun on the moon Europa, hiding from a painful past. Now she hunts the galaxy for the Kalquorian who made her stop running from herself. When she gets a lead on his clanmates, she thinks her search is finally over. What she finds, however, is a clan devastated by broken promises.
Nobek Halmiko was once a star kurble player. Now he wanders space aimlessly, picking up jobs where he can find them, trying to forget the clanmates he let down. When Bernadette shows up asking questions about his missing Imdiko, he has nothing to say. But some women get in a man’s head. Some women don’t take no for an answer.
Dramok Tumsa had it all: a career he loved, the perfect clan, a troubled but talented brother he’d do anything for. Tragedy on the kurble field destroyed it all. Now his estranged Nobek is back, with a beautiful, hardnosed Earther captain who offers him an opportunity to make amends. Can he piece his clan together again? Does he deserve the chance?
Imdiko Doljen is wracked by guilt. He’s hidden from those he let down…including a woman he couldn’t keep. When she shows up in the company of his clanmates, old hurts ignite anew. It doesn’t matter what he wants; he can’t fix the mistakes he made.
The only path to regaining the love Bernadette lost means healing this shattered clan. Is she ready to commit to three men instead of the one she came for? When disaster strikes, she has to call on all the strength she possesses to stop them from falling apart for good.
