Trapped In Orbit

Geri McClintock

To think this all started with a breakup! I kicked Carl to the curb because of his gambling habits, but when I found out he’d forged my name to co-sign for a loan he took out and then didn’t repay? Well, I wanted to wring his scrawny neck! There was no time, though, as I had to grab what I could fit into a small backpack and run from the syndicate guys after me for the money.

I’d only meant to hitch a ride to where ever the next ship was going. Okay, I was broke and hadn’t paid for my passage. Getting caught by the freighter captain and his crew was not part of my plan, needless to say. Thankfully, they might be rogues of a sort, but they’re rather gallant about it all. I get to work as a member of the crew until we decide to part ways. The complication? I’ve developed more than a little crush on all three of the guys, and the attraction seems to be mutual. Oh, space balls! Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire! This could end badly. Very, very badly– or maybe not.
