Years ago, Chancellor Talia Steele’s husband vanished on an exploratory mission, leaving her to lead their aging generation ship alone. Now, with New Horizon’s life support failing, Talia must attend Orion’s Masquerade—a rare gathering where leaders from across the galaxy forge alliances through marriage. This is her last hope to secure a future for her people and her unborn daughter, who lies in stasis, awaiting a chance at life. But Ryker Steele survived. He crash-landed on an uncharted planet—one that could be the perfect new home for New Horizon’s colony. After years of survival and rebuilding his ship from scrap, he’s finally on his way back to Talia . . . only to find that she’s left. With time running out, Ryker must race to reunite with Talia and save their family and people from being scattered across the galaxy. Will love be enough to bring them back together, or will he lose her to Orion’s Masquerade?
