Escape to the Stars — A.M. Halford

When Sandy climbed into a crate, he hadn't expected it to be filled with supplies for a pirate ship. Now he's being forced to work for his trip. No big deal though, at least he wasn't dead. While he tries to adjust to being free from his old life, he starts to grow feelings for the man put in charge of watching him, the third mate, Brian. Brian knows he shouldn't get close to Sandy. The guy is a temptation he can't afford to let himself indulge in. He plans to keep their interaction to an absolute minimum, even if they're sharing a room. Too bad it seems Sandy has other plans. The Navy hunts down the Galaxia and crew demanding the release of a hostage. As they make a run from the Navy, a third party arrives, Crane and the Red Falcon, and suddenly the crew is fighting to protect their little stowaway. Brian needs to find a way to protect his new roommate.
