She survived a betrayal that cost her centuries.
He is an alien wearing the face of the man who betrayed her.

LIA: I was supposed to spend my life on this generational spaceship. I did not expect to wake up centuries after my husband forced me into stasis. And definitely not to find out he’s long gone and someone just tried to murder me in my pod. Recruited to investigate the incidents of sabotaged pods, my search focuses on the Mechanics Syndicate. But nothing prepares me for their Head Mechanic, Wraith, a powerful alien wearing the face of the man who ruined my life. He’s my number one suspect, but the deeper I dig into his work, the harder it is to separate my hostility from a simmering attraction I can’t afford to feel.

WRAITH: Watching Lia’s pod was supposed to be a quiet obsession, a distant dream of a human I could never have. A friend’s wife. Now she’s awake, inspecting my mechanics, and targeting me as the prime suspect in a dangerous investigation. Carrying the physical imprint of her late husband turns every sharp exchange into a minefield of guilt and undeniable heat. I’m playing a high-stakes game to save my people, and letting her pull back the curtain could ruin everything. Yet pushing her away is the one thing I cannot bring myself to do.

Aboard an interstellar Ark ship, Lia and Wraith must fight against the ever-present shadow of the man who haunts them, and untangle a perilous mess of sabotage, secrets, and explosive passion. Together they have one shot to expose a conspiracy, before everyone’s chance at a new world is destroyed.

The Series

The Stellachart Chronicles is a series of standalone sci-fi alien romance novels that follow humanity’s journey to the stars. Reading all the novels in order will provide a better sense of the bigger picture, but they can also be read separately and out of order as they each follow a different couple of protagonists across space and time.
