A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis, the first in a novella trilogy
Ada Lamarr has a problem.
Several, actually, but the most pressing problem at the moment is that the oxygen in her spacesuit is at less than ten percent, and her ship’s hull has been breached. Which severely undermines her desire to not die.
First at the site of a wreck on a remote planet, Ada’s scavenging went awry after her own ship attracted problems. Luckily, a government-funded salvage crew arrives in time to save her. They have a specific mission, complicated by their new refugee. The crashed ship on the planet had been carrying highly valuable cargo, now lost somewhere in the debris field.
After rescuing Ada, the crew is suspicious that her looting had brought her too close to the valuable wreck, especially Rian White, the ostensible leader of the mission with secrets of his own. As Ada starts to help the crew, a tentative trust is formed. But the closer Rian gets to Ada, the more he starts to wonder how much of her story is a lie…and how far she’s willing to go to get what she actually came to the wreckage site for.
And Ada? Her real problem may just be that she’s falling for Rian.
A phenomenally fun novella that kicks off a trilogy of sexy space heists and romantic tension, Full Speed to a Crash Landing is packed with great characters and full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.
