Before the chase reignites, there’s the calm before the storm.
Jax and Holden have escaped death, destroyed dangerous weapons, and outsmarted the Coalition—for now. Hiding on the Stella Orbital Settlement, they’re scraping by, blending into the shadows of its sprawling corridors. But sharing close quarters aboard the Razorwing makes it impossible to ignore what’s been simmering between them.
Trust doesn’t come easily to a bounty hunter and a smuggler, but survival has a way of breaking down walls. In the quiet moments between shifts and stolen glances, Jax and Holden begin to discover something even more dangerous than the Coalition: the fragile, undeniable bond forming between them.
In the vastness of space, love might be the only thing worth chasing.
This short story takes place between Chasing Troubles and Chasing Fire in The Chase series.
