An Accidental Goddess

WINNER OF THE RT GOLD MEDAL!
A deep space explosion in Riftspace sends Captain Gillaine Davré and her sentient crystalship, Simon, three hundred and fifty years into the future, where her likeness graces every shrine, and her accident has been recorded in history as a "divine sacrifice." Anonymity and lies seem her only options. How can she risk harming the Khalaran culture with the truth about her pub-crawling ways? They think she's a goddess, and she has no intention of destroying those beliefs. Admiral Rynan "Mack" Makarian is a follower of the Lady Kiasidira. He believes that the Lady sacrificed herself in order to save his people. He also believes that the mysterious freighter captain who's turned up on his station is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But is she hiding a secret? Suddenly, a long-time enemy attacks, again. Can Gillie help Mack stop the invasion without revealing her identity, and losing the man she loves?
