Verdant

Ethin “Lucky” Katlan doesn’t take orders, so one might wonder why he sold his life to be a lapdog to the Intergalactic Militia. The answer isn’t that simple, and Lucky isn’t that interested in sharing, especially with Roys Malik, the agonizingly attractive and rule-following commanding officer always at his back.

When a job gone awry results in their being lost on a planet where the flora wants to eat them, their bitter relationship takes a lustful turn. Lucky sees no reason in ruining a good thing and makes an offer of no strings attached sex to pass the monotonous days. What neither of them expects is for that simple suggestion to open an unexpected pathway to divulging the worst and most hidden aspects of themselves. When Lucky’s past comes knocking, and Roys’ secrets come to light, their ever-changing relationship is put to the ultimate test.
