Caught Off Guard (A Starfall Empire Novel)

In a galaxy scarred by endless war, two enemy soldiers and a mysterious woman become bound together by love, betrayal, and secrets powerful enough to destroy entire civilizations.

Captain Lucien Vale of the Starfall Empire has spent his life fighting for duty. Commander Cassian Thorne of the Republic has mastered survival through charm and deception. Between them stands Selene Oria-a woman dressed in silver, carrying dangerous truths beneath her quiet smile.

When a political assassination ignites chaos across the galaxy, Lucien and Cassian are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect the very woman who has deceived them both. But hidden beneath the capital world of Meridian Prime lies a secret vault containing evidence capable of reigniting war across the stars.

As empires crumble and old grief transforms into vengeance, love becomes both a weapon and a weakness. Haunted by sacrifice, buried truths, and the ghosts of their pasts, Lucien, Cassian, and Selene must decide how much of themselves they are willing to lose to save a galaxy already dying from hatred.

Caught Off Guard is a sweeping sci-fi tragedy of forbidden love, political conspiracies, revenge, and redemption-where the most dangerous battles are not fought with fleets and weapons, but within the human heart.
