Harper and her crew have one chance to escape. Trapped under the rule of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the colonists of Jackson are nothing more than expendable labor-forced to mine, farm, and die under contracts that never end. Their only hope of freedom lies in Yvaga, a distant planet beyond corporate control. But the journey takes nine years, and without stasis chambers, they'll never survive the trip.
Their mission is simple: break into an abandoned station, retrieve the cryo-pods, and disappear before Weyland-Yutani notices they're gone. But when they arrive, they find they're not the only ones with that plan. Among them is Bjorn-just another crew member, but one who manages to get under Harper's skin like no one else. He's cocky, infuriatingly sarcastic, and completely in her way.
With limited resources and tensions rising, neither crew can afford to walk away empty-handed. But as Harper and Bjorn are forced to work together, their rivalry sparks into something unexpected. Sarcasm turns to stolen glances. Fights turn to flirtation. And as danger closes in, their greatest challenge might not be escaping the station-but trusting each other enough to survive what comes next.
