Previously published – At Star’s End has been lightly edited and had a new chapter added.

Dr. Eos Rai has spent a lifetime dedicated to her mother’s dream of finding the long-lost Mona Lisa. When Eos uncovers tantalizing evidence of Star’s End—the last known location of the masterpiece—she’s shocked when her employer, the Galactic Institute of Historic Preservation, refuses to back her expedition.
Left with no choice, she does the unthinkable—joins forces with the most notorious treasure hunter in the galaxy. A man she finds infuriating, annoying, and far too tempting.
Dathan Phoenix can sniff out relics at a stellar mile. With his brothers by his side, he lives for adventure. When the gorgeous Eos Rai comes looking to hire him, he knows she’s trouble, but he can’t say no.

Working side-by-side, the hunt pushes both Eos and Dathan to their limits and ignites a scorching desire. She follows the rules, he loves to break them, but they’re going to have to trust each other to not just succeed, but to survive.
