    THE FINAL HUNT BEGINS 
    The Star Federation is at war. When the Seventh Sun ambushed Sciyat—a glowing beacon of peace—the galactic military retaliated with a purge, calling for the elimination of all Neo-Andromedans across the galaxy. Fleet Commander Erica Anderson helped initiate the purge. She now fights to destroy the Seventh Sun, no matter the cost. 
    Captain Jason Stone tried to stop the purge. He failed. Now, Jason is torn between his duties as a soldier and his beliefs as a man. He has his orders, but when he swore to protect the galaxy, he never imagined genocide. Fighting enemies both within and outside of the Star Federation, Jason resists the purge where he can, and holds on to threadbare hope for a disgraced officer and a bounty hunter. 
    Lance and Lissa are out to find and eliminate the leaders of the Seventh Sun. They agree that they need to destroy the dangerous Neo-Andromedan organization, but this hunt may demand too much from Lissa. Hunting bounty targets is easy; hunting her own people is unforgivable. Together, Lance and Lissa must face their enemies, but if either of them breaks, they will lose far more than their lives.The hunt is on, and only the strong will survive.

    I left Baker Oaks ten years ago and swore I'd never return. So, why on earth am I sitting in the front seat of Jake Clarke's truck? The guy whose heart I broke all those years ago, the man I considered the love of my life. 
     
    After a decade of successfully avoiding everything Jake, running into him at the airport was never part of the plan. And staying at his place? Definitely not in the cards. But when my job sent me—Allie Zabana—on a six-month assignment near Baker Oaks, I had no choice but to go. 
     
    It wouldn't be a problem if I hadn't left without a word ten years ago. All the old memories are coming back, along with a love I've tried to forget for so long—one that's threatening to claw its way to the surface, dragging with it all the secrets I've locked away. 
     
    After a moment of weakness and his hands on me again, there's no question about the chemistry we still share—it's the kind of passion that could reignite like wildfire if we aren't careful. But . . . he has no idea what really happened all those years ago, and I'm not sure he'd ever forgive me if he did. 
     
    Just when I think maybe the past will stay buried in the past, life hits me with a blitz I never saw coming.
