Years ago, I sent my mate away to keep her safe from those who knew her death would be my greatest punishment.
Yet when danger follows her to Earth, I don't hesitate to follow.

Helene.

Seeing her face again brings both my greatest joy and deepest heartbreak. To spare her the pain of our parting, I had Helene's memories of me—of us, of our son—wiped away before she returned to Earth.

Helene no longer knows me, but there's something in the way she looks at me. Something in how she instinctively turns to me for comfort and protection as we evade the bloodthirsty creatures hunting us that gives me hope.

Could my mate love me again... if we survive?

This is the second book in the Alliance Rescue Series. This sci-fi warrior romance features a second chance at love with a later-in-life hero and heroine. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to reconnect not only with each other, but with the parts of themselves they thought were lost forever. The story explores themes of loss, forgiveness, and the enduring power of love that transcends time and space.

While it's part of the Outlander Book Club... in Space universe, with interconnected storylines that fans have come to adore, you can absolutely read it as a standalone novel. New readers will find themselves fully immersed in this captivating tale of romance and adventure.

5🌟's for Ako🌟💖🔥

From the very first book in the very first series Annie Lucas has captured my heart and my attention. Each book was lovingly crafted and created a universe with stories of loss, pain , redemption, forgiveness and most importantly love. Add to that complex Machinations of intergalactic politics and greed and you've got yourself some freaking fantastic stories! We met Duke Ako in the first book of the first series. I didn't know what to make of him at first but as the character developed you knew he carried a deeply wounded heart. In this book his story unfolds and how he would do absolutely anything for the woman he loved even sacrifice everything the y built together to keep her safe. Helene stolen from Earth in the early 1900's and introduced to aliens, space and the less desirable elements of the universe. She learned quickly to rely on herself and do try and survive. When she meets Ako both their lives change forever. Helene captures him with her internal fire, her fierce attitude and the deep well of her intelligence. Their meeting alters the course of both their lives forever. Love binds them together strong than any chains forged. But horrible danger lurks and if Ako can't keep his love save he'll loose her forever. You've got to give this second chance at love your full attention. Its a fantastic story that Furthers the over arching plot that has been twisting together and drawing us in from the very first story! Excellent book 🌟 highly recommend and I can't wait for more!🔥💖💖🔥🌟🔥💖🌟💖🔥🌟🔥💖🌟🌟🔥💖🌟💖🔥🔥🌟💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥💖🌟💖🔥🌟💖💖🔥🌟💖🔥🌟🌟🔥💖💖🔥🌟

good short read

Ako’s anguish about his mate is pretty much through this book. Had to skip a lot to get to the good parts. Not one of my favorites but good in determining future story lines.
