Orion Rising — Kris Norris

Captain Kell Halloway thought his days of fighting the good fight were over. After years of following orders in what he thought was the name of peace, he's broken all ties with the Coalition and is determined to make amends for his mistakes. Captain and sole member of the Orion, he's living a life of existence, running supplies and cargo across the heavens, hoping to find some shred of redemption. That is until he discovers a stowaway…one that turns his world upside down.

Sage didn't plan to sneak aboard a ship, but an untimely insurrection forces her into action and into Kell's arms. A stolen kiss turns out to be more than she bargained for, and she's left facing a new problem -- one much more dangerous than the squadron of soldiers still hunting her.

But the clock is ticking. She has only one chance to free a colony under an unjust rule, and only one man to turn to for help.
