Nia Okafor was halfway through a suture when the light took her. She wakes in a curve of white steel orbiting a green planet, with a hundred frightened abductees and one alien doctor who refuses to lie to her. Surrahk was exiled for letting a human live. He has one chance to get everyone home, and it depends on the woman he can't keep his hands steady around. She'll run his clinic. He'll teach her a medicine three centuries past Earth's. Neither of them planned on the night shifts, the fever ward, or the way his pulse answers hers. When the slavers who own the ship come to reclaim their cargo, Surrahk is offered his old life back for the price of one human. He chooses the fire instead. A steamy alien doctor romance about the patient who saves the physician.
Wren Ashcombe has a fake name, a dead family, and one semester to disappear. Cassian Voretti has a job: watch the scholarship boy, report everything, kill him if ordered. He watches. He photographs. He leaves things in Wren's room. And Wren, instead of flinching, starts leaving things back. By Halloween they are following each other through the same frozen campus, and neither can say who is hunting whom. Then the order comes down, and Cassian has to choose between the family that made him and the boy who has been watching him right back. He chooses wrong. He chooses right. He chooses Wren. A dark MM college mafia stalker romance with an enemies-to-obsession spiral, a betrayal that lands, and a reunion at a prison gate.
Ravenscroft has rules. Caspian Rhys makes them. He knew my schedule before I did. He knew my coffee order. He knew the name of the dog I lost when I was nine - and I never told anyone on this campus. I went to the dean. The dean is his father. I tried to transfer. My scholarship doesn't allow it. I train at the boathouse at four a.m. because it's the only hour he isn't there, except he is, standing in the dark like he never left. I thought he was hunting me. Then I found out who else was. He's been keeping me alive since the day I stepped off the train, and he's never once asked me to thank him for it. A dark college stalker romance with an obsessive captain, a dean's son, and a finish line that belongs to both of us.
