SHEBA
She’s a top-tier medic who’s officially D.O.N.E. with the chaos of her love life.
She flees to the ends of Pegasi to escape a bad breakup,
Only to crash-land on a beach.
A simple shepherd rescues her.
But those aren't just farm-calloused hands, they’re glowing with gold sigils and god-tier power.
She suspects he's an immortal warrior, a TITAN, hiding in plain sight.
Trapped in a tiny, one-bed mountain hut while a galactic hunt rages outside,
She’s forced into close proximity with HIM.
He’s brooding, he’s silent, and he radiates a lethal strength.
One that makes her pulse race for all the wrong (and right) reasons.
She never expected to find sanctuary in the wild, or in his arms.
She soon finds herself tethered to a guardian who doesn't just protect her life; he stakes his very soul on it.
Under the shield of his possessive devotion, she reclaims her power,
Even as he remains the one paradox capable of shattering her heart.
IDAN
He's a ghost in the machine.
A fallen Commander with a lethal immortal legacy coursing through his veins.
Long ago, he haunted celestial palaces and led elite mercenary squads.
The burden of defending a thousand star systems once rested on his shoulders.
Now he's traded galaxy-wide carnage for the rhythm of the seasons.
He's a farmer and shepherd, seeking peace in highland solitude;
He is a sigma, a lone wolf, a god-tier weapon who's rejected love and tenderness.
Until he finds a reason to feel again,
With the only woman who discerns the heart beneath his silent facade.
However, his past refuses to stay buried.
Phantasms from his past hunt him down and will destroy worlds to snare him.
He has one shot at a future he never thought he’d earn,
So he goes to war, ready to burn the galaxy to the ground.
If it means protecting the one woman who restores his soul.
Get ready for the grumpiest, most DIVINE god-warrior-shepherd in the galaxy and the fierce medic who sees right through him as they fight for the survival of their love against a God-Emperor with a mean streak of vengeance.

I've loved every book I've read by Sky Gold, and this one is no exception. The FMC, Sheba, is a character that has appeared in several previous books and this is finally her and Idan's story. Idan is a great MMC - immortal god, powerful, protective, a man who commanded armies across the galaxies who now just wants to live a quiet simple life as a farmer and shepherd. (My kind of guy!) Lots of action and, of course, an HEA. Many characters from Sable Riders 1-8 also appear or are featured in...

As much as I love these books. My one gripe is that this super human megalith of a man was too saccharine at times. I understand his why and I just to skip a few places. Other than that it was great. Looking forward to the next one. I read the first 8 in succession and then took a break for several months. Now I am back in. )

Really good storyline with great integration into the family series. These characters are terrific and the scenes are fabulously descriptive. This is a page turning good read. )
