“It’s true then, we’re home?”
When the crew of the Alliance starship Phoenix found themselves in an uncharted quadrant of the galaxy, out of communication and thousands of light years from Earth, Addy Kayland considered it a Godsend; a chance to start a new life. In all practicality, the journey home was to take a lifetime, but fate hadn’t reasoned with the determination of the crew, and the trip had taken the Phoenix only nine years. Addy now finds herself a mere three months away from her journey’s end; what awaits her return?
With the best of intentions, Addy often finds herself in trouble, but by the grace of God, always manages to land on her feet. Caught off guard when Spacecorps guests arrive aboard the ship, she finds herself out of practice at keeping a low profile. With her propensity for stumbling into embarrassing situations, she gains the attention of Admiral Neese, the father of a crewmember. Digging into her past, he comes up empty-handed. Why did someone try to kill her? Why is the crew so closed-mouth concerning her? Who is she?
As a civilian amongst Spacecorps shipmates, Addy had earned the confidence of the crew and they reciprocated by being protective of her – including the captain. She was just what Captain Kathlyn Shelby needed, a friend and confident; but when she forced the truth of Addy’s past out of her – it almost destroyed the bond.
Admiral Neece’s interest grows passionate; fighting desperately against the attraction, Addy can feel the handsome Admiral taking possession of a long empty place in her heart.
Can she trust him with the truth?
Join the three month journey home, through the eyes, heart, and humor of Adelia Kayland.
