Commander Jonathan Radec wants nothing more than to escape his past. Now the head of Vanguard Shipping, he focuses on keeping his ships in the sky and his crew out of trouble. But his quiet life shatters when the shadowy Syndicate targets him—and sends a deadly assassin to take him out.
The twist? He’s falling for her. And his ex-girlfriend, newly elected President of the Confederation, still loves him—and isn’t happy about any of it. She has the power to complicate his life in ways no enemy ever could.
As the galaxy edges toward chaos, Jon finds himself surrounded by threats. He doesn’t care much for the Confederation, but now he’s the one man who might be able to save it. With enemies closing in, he leans on the only advantage he has—his loyal crew of elite Imperial Navy veterans and the dangerous reputation of a man who’s seen too much and survived it all.
