Freighter Flights
Will is the hot shot pilot and second in command on the Arillia, a pretty little cargo ship making runs just this side of legal. When they lose their engineer, Will goes on the hunt in spacedock for a new one. What he finds is Tab, a gruff, scarred man who can get the job done. For Tab, the Arillia is a job, a good one at that, and if the pilot makes him growl and want more than he should, well it sure beats starving. The sparks fly between them and they begin to care, whether they want to or not. If they can survive their pasts, space pirates and nearly being blasted out of space, they just might be able to survive each other.

So he took the stairs.
Everything was gunmetal grey, signs painted in dayglow orange with black print. It was functional and plain and lent an air of desperation to the place. Not every space port was like this, but the further away from civilization you were, the more functional and austere the places got. The more dangerous they got, too. Nice folks didn't live out here. And they certainly didn't live in the spaceports.
There was a low murmur of voices in the kaffe, people hanging out, waiting for their next ride, crew taking a break for something to eat in between unloading and loading or repair ... read full excerpt from Freighter Flights ebook
