Enemy Within

A STARSHIP CAPTAIN CLINGING TO HER SHATTERED PAST; A PIRATE WITH AN EMPIRE TO PROTECT AND A THREAT BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE IMAGINATION.

After a stint in an alien prison followed by a torpedoed military career, Captain Alexandria Rose—better known as Ari—has to wonder why she even bothered to survive. Stripped of her command and banished to her father's scientific expedition to finish a PhD she doesn't want, Ari never planned to languish quietly behind a desk. She wasn't built for it, either. But when pirates commandeer her father's ship, Ari once again becomes a prisoner.

Pirate leader Collin may not be who he pretends to be. but as far as he's concerned, the same goes for Ari. Her past imprisonment puts her dead center in Cullin's sights, and if she hasn't been brainwashed and returned as a spy, then he's convinced she must be part of a traitorous alliance endangering billions of lives. Collin can't afford the desire she fires within him, and he'll stop at nothing, including destroying her, to uncover the truth.
