Recruiting Phantom
Captain Sasha Barrett is on a mission. Murder is the goal. Revenge is the motive.
Ever since Sasha's eyes flickered open to cold laboratory lights, her body has been whole, but something alien lies beneath the surface. The cybernetics fused with her organic tissue are a painful mystery - one she intends to rid herself of by going back to the source.
But hunting down those responsible is a dangerous task and she can't charge in without someone watching her six.
Her best friend is a seasoned SpecOps sniper. She could just ask him. Problem is, she hasn't spoken to him in three years. She's been meaning to call him. Honest! But the longer she keeps him in the dark, the harder it is to let that lie fall from the stars.
The Phantom Vengeance series delivers sizzling slow burn alien romance, adrenaline-fuelled adventure, and a disaster pansexual battle couple who'll steal your heart while breaking into high-security facilities and ducking for cover. Perfect for anyone who enjoys their sci-fi with equal parts action, humour, and heat. This LGBTQ+ inclusive series proves that even in the cold vacuum of space, some flames never die.

About the author
S.T. Arsheep
4 books4 followersS.T. Arsheep was a copywriter (writing fiction only in secret, shhh!) long before trading slinging ink in marketing for wordsmithery in book writing. As an industry veteran with over two decades of experience crafting captivating copy, she brings a masterful command of voice to her evocative prose.
Known as the Slow Burn Queen of gritty speculative fiction, this LGBTQ+ author reigns supreme in creating character-driven, slathered-in-feels sci-fi and fantasy that simmers with delicious tension. She loves pairing grumpy heroes with sassy, self-assured heroines, and savouring every longing glance and accidental touch until you’re screaming “Kiss already!!!” at a book. Expect steamy scenes, witty banter, and happily ever afters that’ll leave you smiling through tears of hard-earned joy.
A Scandinavian descended from Vikings and one Polish horse thief, she’s an autistic elder millennial who loves a sinfully moist tiramisu. When not writing, you can find her at the stables with her kiddo, in the kitchen with her husband, learning a new craft, chaos gardening, dreaming of countryside living, and doing the same thing she does every night; plotting how to take over the world. (No, not really; just how to start an alpaca farm.)

When I found myself at the end of Ravaging Phantom, I knew I was in the for long haul with Zaven. Little did I know how hard I’d fall for Sasha “Socks” Barrett. There is a scene between them in this book that haunts me. It lives in my head rent-free and pops up unbidden on a regular basis.
Aside from the character development, there’s action, a revenge mission, and a whooooooole lot of tension. What else could you want?
This author is the absolute MASTER of the slow burn. If you want yearning, pining, absolute longing… you’ve found the right series. Did I scream “KISS ALREADY!!!!” at these characters? Multiple times. Do they? Read and find out.

Girl, you are killing me with the slow slow burn. I can't cope...
The ship, the crew, THE BINNY!, all amazing. But I need Sasha to stop being an idiot, please.
