He conquered her world. Now she might conquer him.

He is the cold, calculating commander in the empire that conquered her world.
She is the rebel flame he cannot put out.

Riley has spent her life defying the Skalarian occupation of Eridonia. Fierce, fearless, and reckless, she’s the spark that keeps rebellion alive. Zaraak, a high-ranking Skalarian officer known for his ruthless composure, should crush her resistance without hesitation.

Instead, he’s drawn to it. To her.

Every battle brings them closer to a dangerous line, where obsession eclipses duty, and forbidden desire threatens to ignite a fire that could consume more than just one planet. Because the Skalarians aren’t just rulers of Eridonia… their influence stretches across the system, and claiming Riley might ignite a war Zaraak cannot control.

A dark, spicy enemies-to-lovers that starts out on a conquered colony world. Perfect for fans of possessive alien warlords, fierce human heroines, and love that burns even in the shadow of rebellion.
