Admiral Jonas Myers was only looking for a brief break from Star Union Command. He never expected to find a pleasure droid that made his pulse race. He also never expected to fall in love with her.
Nora has two options -- marry an abusive used parts dealer of her controlling brothers' choosing, or flee, risking punishment by death. Wanting one night of freedom even at the cost of her life, she decides to make a run for it. Little did she know she'd be rushing into the arms of an admiral -- the one man capable of saving her life, at the risk of losing her heart.
