Have you ever had a midlife crisis so epic that it flung you into the far reaches of space?

Well, Rhea Tanner has. One moment she’s dabbling in a bit of spell work, and the next—boom! She’s on an old spaceship with her familiar, Alika. (Honestly, though, if you’re going to get lost in the cosmos, having a cat sidekick is an elite move.)

Ready for love, magic, and a cat in space?

So you know, space isn’t all stardust and adventure—Rhea’s journey takes a dramatic turn when she realizes the ship’s captain is C’tloc, a brooding, battle-worn alien whose ship is on the verge of collapse. And because she has a heart bigger than a black hole, she sacrifices her way home to save him. Because, hey, what’s a little cosmic detour when you’ve already accidentally launched yourself into deep space?

🌠 A Sweet Sci-Fi Romance Written in the Stars (Literally)

C’tloc isn’t just any alien—he’s a widowed former leader from Akerlon in the Segarian galaxy. Once a respected figure on his home planet, he lost everything when invaders took over. Now, he roams the stars as a solitary space junk collector, a far cry from his former life. The last thing he expected was for his lonely voyage to take a turn toward romance when a feisty, spell-slinging human crash-landed into his world.

Cue the slow-burn romance in zero gravity.

Rhea and C’tloc come from different worlds—literally—but their connection is undeniable. As they navigate space and their growing feelings, they discover that love doesn’t care about species, galaxies, or the logistics of interstellar dating.

💕 Home Is Where the Heart (and the Spaceship) Is

Everything seems to be going well until C’tloc takes Rhea to the planet Drakarus where his family and other Akerlons are exiled. He’s ready to introduce her to his people, repair his ailing ship, and continue their happily-ever-after among the stars. But—plot twist!—not everyone on Drakarus, including his adult children, is thrilled about their plan to be together forever.

Can Rhea’s charm, humor, and sheer determination win over C’tloc’s skeptical family? Or will their love story be just another cosmic tragedy?

This sweet sci-fi romance is proof that second chances at love aren’t just for Earthlings. With magic, adventure, and a touch of intergalactic intrigue, this addition to the Baga Shores series will sweep you off your feet—and possibly into another dimension.

So, are you ready to take a leap of faith into the unknown? Are you ready for love, magic, and a cat in space? I hope so because love—much like space—has no limits. 🌌✨
