Phoenix Rising (Outer Fringe, #1)
Description
She's never left her home world.
He's seen too much of the galaxy to believe in happy endings.
On a journey filled with danger and deception, neither expected to find the one thing they weren't looking for?each other.
When naive but determined Phoenix Eemin embarks on a desperate search for her missing father, she tracks down the only man who might help?Adrian Sun, a ruthless bounty hunter with no patience for wide-eyed dreamers. When Adrian discovers the missing man is his mentor and the closest thing he's ever had to family, he makes it his mission to bring him home.
The problem? Phoenix refuses to be left behind.
Defying Adrian at every turn, she takes off on her own, forcing him to chase after her before she gets herself killed. The last thing Adrian expects is to fall for the headstrong woman he swore to protect, but as they fight their way across the galaxy?through lawless outposts, deadly rival bounty hunters, and a conspiracy darker than they ever imagined?he realizes he's not just saving her.
He's losing his heart to her.
And if they don't find her father soon, it could be too late for all of them.
