Futuristic/Sci Fi Romance

Rork Al’Ren, new head of Defense for the Union of planets, has one last mission in the field -- to arrest the pirates who murdered his friend.  Instead, he finds himself a prisoner of Tia Sen, a woman who seems every bit as cruel and vicious as every other pirate he’s ever met.  But appearances can be deceiving, and before he knows it, he’s falling in love with one of the very people he has sworn to destroy.

Excerpt:

Prologue

Union standard year 3175A.D.

“Is everything ready?”  Tia Sen’s whispered question into the com seemed to echo over the hum of the spaceship’s massive engines. 

She spared a look over her shoulder.  She knew she stood alone in the dark landing bay, but scanned the dim rows of ships once again to be sure.  Meager safety lighting exposed parts of the vehicles and shadowed others, making them look like monuments in some alien cemetery.  She shoved away the macabre thought.

“Yes, but...”  The crackling distortion typical of a scrambled communication couldn’t hide the uncharacteristic worry in Kaber’s low, feminine voice. 

Tia took a deep breath.  The last thing she needed from her partner was doubt. “But?”

“Maybe we should let this one go.  It’s too soon.”

Too soon.  On the contrary, it seemed too late. 

The image of a man struggling as he suffocated in the black, icy arms of space flashed into her mind.  Far too late.  She closed her eyes, attempting to banish the horrifying vision and the sick, hopeless feeling of failure and loss it engendered.  It was ludicrous anyway.  She hadn’t witnessed the spacing and dwelling on it served no purpose.

The com hissed as the tense voice on the other end continued.  “This is the biggest thing we’ve ever done.  Your father --”

Tia didn’t have to be reminded of the deadly penalty should her father discover even the least of her activities.  “Can only kill us once.”
