Abroad in the Stars — A.M. Halford

Tony ran from the arranged marriage his greedy parents set up for him. He meets and joins the Galaxia pirates, making a home amongst the worst of the solar system. Craig, first mate of the Galaxia pirates, returns after a personal vacation to find a new and interesting face amongst the crew. He instantly sets his sights to capturing the feisty navigator. Tony and Craig's awakening relationship is pulled into turmoil when mercenaries corner the Galaxia, demanding they hand over Antonio Santiago - Tony's past has officially caught up with him. Craig works to keep his lover out of the mercenary's hands, but there is a traitor on the ship that wants Tony gone. When Tony is handed over to the mercenaries, at the cost of one crewmember's life, Craig is frantic to find him and discover the traitor. Tony isn't just going to sit back either. He's determined to get out of the situation and back to the Galaxia and Craig's arms.
