Captain Santiago and the Sky Dome Waitress: Interspace Origins, #4.1
()
About this ebook
He thought he buried his past—until she walked back into his life, wearing the face of the woman who destroyed him.
Captain Elijah Santiago is one of the most successful fleet merchants in the known worlds. Rumors claim that even though he is human, he is more machine-like than any Varkan. With iron discipline, he powers through his lucrative days with a complete lack of emotions.
Lucie is a newly minted Varkan, formerly a city-mind, but now with a human body. She finds her new physical world challenging, sometimes frightening, and always emotionally draining.
When Santiago spots the diminutive dark-haired woman on his ship, old wounds are opened, for Lucie has the appearance of a woman that tore Santiago's life apart; Blake. The exact appearance; for Blake donated her DNA to the public pool for Varkans to use, and Lucie literally has Blake's cloned body. Santiago must avoid Lucie, or risk ripping open his heart once more.
Only, Lucie has taken a waitressing job at Santiago's favourite sky dome restaurant….

PRAISE FOR THE INTERSPACE ORIGINS SERIES
A magnificent world with twist and turns and complex characters and if there isn't another SFR award in the future for this series I will be more than surprised, I will be sorely disappointed.
You'll love the roller coaster ride!
What I truly like is the stories never go in the direction I would expect. These stories are in my to be read time and again
file. If I could get it more than five stars this would be the series!
This was such a fantastic series. Never had I read one that hit me so profoundly.
I usually find it very easy to put a book down when I am reading it and to walk away from a book once I am done with it. Not so much this time.
