When they heard the warning signal of a vessel coming toward their planet, Mayhem, Strife and Menace were working to fix a hole in Mayhem's roof. They stopped and prepared to fight whatever mercenaries the verexi had sent this time. Prisoners on this planet, they have had to fight for their lives many times as the verexi try to eliminate them. They've salvaged what they could from those they have defeated and were doing their best to build lives here. Perhaps this time there would be much more to salvage.
Hope had been getting a massage when the emergency alarms went off. The AI didn't give her clothing back and she was stuck with just the robe and slippers. Fortunately, she ran into Rissa who got her settled into one of the escape pods.
Her landing was not smooth it was a crash and she almost choked on the suspension gel that filled the pod, she did lose consciousness though and when she woke the gel had flowed out the open pod door. The pod was floating on an inflated ring on a massive river. She wasn't sure she had the swimming skills to make it to shore.
She balanced herself on the edge of the ring to wash off the gel and was startled by something brushing against her leg. This of course caused her to plunge into the water. Because of that she wasn't with the pod when Menace finds it and sinks it after destroying the beacons.
He finds his quarry on a rock in the river, from what he could see unarmed and possibly asleep. He manages to get her off the rock and to the shore safely but there is still the issue of the robe she insists on wearing.
Things heat up very quickly and they barely make it to the supply cave before the storm hits. They do begin to get to know each other beyond the attraction as well.
There's a lot of dangerous things on this planet, and they need to survive them and get the rest of the supplies from the pod Menace sunk.
I love the way this story progresses, while it's kindle melting sizzling it's also heartwarming and hopeful.
I can't wait for the next book in this series!
