    About this ebook

    Tucker has spent his entire life as an interstellar trash man. But ever since his mother died, he’s been alone, and certainly lonely. So when he discovers the derelict ship he scooped up has an occupant—a beautiful young man named Ronan—Tucker is thrilled.

    Ronan is royalty and running from his tyrannical mother, determined to keep a powerful object out of her hands. But when he strikes a deal with the adorable Tucker, he wonders if it’s time to stop running.

    M.D. Grimm

    M.D. Grimm has wanted to write stories since second grade (kind of young to make life decisions, but whatever) and nothing has changed since then (well, plenty of things actually, but not that!). Thankfully, she has indulgent parents who let her dream, but also made sure she understood she’d need a steady job to pay the bills (they never let her forget it!). After graduating from the University of Oregon and majoring in English, (let’s be honest: useless degree, what else was she going to do with it?) she started on her writing career and couldn’t be happier. Working by day and writing by night (or any spare time she can carve out), she enjoys embarking on romantic quests and daring adventures (living vicariously, you could say) and creating characters that always triumph against the villain, (or else what’s the point?) finding their soul mate in the process.

Not even when his mom had been alive. So why now? What was it? Tucker leaned forward with a frown, fiddling with dials, trying to shut the fucking thing off. He finally admitted defeat and called up the ship's manual. The hologram fizzled slightly but settled when he smacked the console.

      Alarm, he said. The page that held information on the various alarms and what they meant replaced the table of contents page. Tucker scanned down the list and finally found what he wanted. He rubbed his eyes before looking again.

      Living organism?

      What the hell? he said softly. He tapped the required sequence to shut down the alarm. After closing the manual, he jumped to his feet and raced down the narrow corridor between the bridge and the belly of his ship, Destiny. He didn't understand... Why was there a living organism in his trash compartment?

      He’d just come across a derelict ship—or he thought derelict—and he’d picked it up, swallowing it into Destiny. That was his job, after all. He was the trash collector for this sector of the solar system. The ship had looked old, busted, and with no signs of
