Salvation by Maddie Taylor

Asha has endured unspeakable cruelty at the hands of her human master. She, and hundreds like her, are hidden away by their owners, their existence a secret even to others of their kind. During the uprising, when the cyborgs liberate themselves from their oppressors and flee Earth, Asha and her fellow slaves are unknowingly left behind.
Faced with a dismal future of servitude, when Asha’s villainous master dies, she escapes, refusing to enter the black-market auction to be sold yet again. She is desperate to free the other abandoned females but can’t do it alone. Her cyborg brethren are their only hope. Asha hatches a plan to seek them out and prepares a clever disguise to gain passage aboard a bounty hunter’s ship.
Senior cyborg officer Talus is known for his calm, unflappable demeanor, but the first time he sees Asha’s delicate beauty, he is deeply stirred. But after her horrific life on Earth how can she trust another male, especially after she vows never to do so again?
Talus refuses her attempts to spurn their mutual attraction. His quiet nature and the strength of his protection slowly bring down her shields. In space, among the safety of her own kind, Asha is willing to let the spark of love ignite, but as the cyborg rescue mission approaches Earth, the more her traumatic memories resurface and the more withdrawn she becomes.
In the chaos of freeing the captive females, can Talus convince Asha their love is meant to be and no matter what lies ahead, he will always be her ultimate peace and salvation?
