About this ebook
Earthling Sash is ready for a little R&R—light on the Rest and heavy on the Recreation, preferably in the form of sex. She’s been obsessing about it for the past three weeks while navigating the Taconian galaxy on the way to planet, Lannar. As chief mechanic, the ship’s performance is her priority, not getting laid, or battling the weird flu bug that is making her head throb and her skin tingle. Sickness is for the weak of mind and body, and has no place in a world where only the strong survive.

I've been reading romance novels for as long as I can remember. I just never thought I'd be writing them. In fact, I graduated from university with a business degree and started working in the Finance Department of Environment Canada...shiver. A few years into my career, my hubby, who's a meteorologist, got posted up north, population 800. I quit my job and went with him. At first all the spare time was great, then I got bored so I started to read. Day and night. When I ran out of books to read I decided to try writing one. After all, how hard could it be. Ha!! Well, you guessed it. It was hard! Many years later I discovered Romance Writers of America and have learned a great deal since joining my local chapter. My journey to publication hasn't been smooth sailing, but with the support and guidance from the wonderful writers at RWAC, it's been a lot easier. And a lot more fun! I'm very fortunate to have a husband and two children who have been supportive in every possible way. On those frustrating days when I'm banging my head against my desk I look up to see a heart shaped sticky note on my computer that says I love you because you naver give up.

Sash stepped from the shower and balked at the ghostly reflection staring back at her. She grabbed her steamy oval mirror, propped it up over her steel sink and angled it for a better viewing. Surely to God that wasn’t her. Her skin looked alabaster, her tongue pale. She swallowed down the scratchy feeling clogging her throat, and cursed under her breath. When she looked and felt this bad, she at least wanted a good reason for it, and maybe even a few satisfying memories. But she couldn’t even blame the peaked, wide-eyed apparition on a wild night of partying, or a wild night of sex. Nope. She’d spent all of last evening in her quarters, traveling through the Taconian galaxy on Starship Anthon.
What the hell was wrong with her? She never got sick. Ever. Not once in her twenty-five years could she ever remember being ill. Sickness was for the weak of mind and the weak of spirit. She was anything but.
Her vision went a little fuzzy around the edges as she glanced around her cramped quarters. The lights embedded overhead stung her eyes. She pinched them shut and tried to ward off an impending headache. Her itchy skin felt ultra sensitive, even the tiny hairs on her arms hurt. Moisture pebbled her feverish flesh as her gaze skirted over her unmade bunk with longing. Christ, she needed to pull herself together and haul her ass to the bridge where the rest of the crew awaited her arrival. They’d be landing on Lannar in less than twelve Earth hours and as the ship’s chief mechanic she didn’t have time for such inconveniences.
She pinched her cheek, hoping to add a tinge of color to her ashen skin. Nothing. She eyed her tray of makeup and considered her dilemma. Sash only bothered with makeup at the docking stations, never while on a mission. Which meant that ninety-nine percent of the time, she’d gone without. Because ninety-nine percent of the time, since the day her mother had given birth to her on board the ship, she’d been coursing through space. And she didn’t see that changing anytime soon.
After Sash had lost her mother in her early teens, Captain Mike Cavanaugh, her mother’s dear friend and confidant, had taken her under his wing. The captain tried to be the father she’d never had. He’d tried to do right by her, buying her pretty dresses and barrettes, grooming her for ship’s liaison, a position held by only the
