Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is something of a gift. When you’re the princess of the Seven Planets, it’s occasionally useful-like slipping away from your security detail or ‘accidentally’ missing yet another endless state dinner. It can also cause problems when your mother is the Empress. But when the overpriced science vessel known as ‘jewel of the galaxy’ is attacked while you’re visiting? That’s when being in the wrong place at the wrong time can get you killed. Almost. Thanks to a dark-eyed, sexy misanthrope who goes by the name of Knox, I barely escaped alive. There are seven of us who survived the attack, each with a different story – and each of us wants something, even if it’s just surviving another day. Now we’re on the run with what feels like the entire galaxy in cold, merciless pursuit.
