Seven Oars (Rix Universe, #3)

Rosamma always thought sneaking off her home planet was a bad idea.

Still, she follows her brother and a group of hopeful women to space, drawn by the promise of a brighter future. The Rix defenders escorting them are strong, capable, and entirely indifferent to their fate.

One of them is exactly what dreams are made of… but dreams are fragile, and life is not always fair.

Pirates strike without warning. In the blink of an eye, Rosamma and her companions are imprisoned aboard Seven Oars, a hulking, decrepit space station ruled by violent aliens. As they drift deeper into the void, loyalties fray, spirits fracture, and even the hardest of men crack under pressure.

Yet, Rosamma refuses to give in to cruelty and despair. Using her unique healing gift, she becomes a lifeline to a Rix with a heart colder than starlight.

But when her time runs out, will he doom her to darkness—or make her last dream come true?
