Her Unclaimed Husband

Sora Ellery has been married to Commander Taev for three years and has not once been held by him. She lives in his quarters on an orbital station, eats his food, wears the Accord's ring, and gets nothing but logistics and silence. When a summit brings him home for a full season, Sora decides she is done waiting for an answer she has not been given. What she uncovers is a buried file, a dead first mate, and a bonding protocol the Accord has been hiding for years. When another human wife collapses on the station, Sora has to choose between the safety of silence and the truth that could end both their careers. A sci-fi alien marriage in crisis romance about distance, duty, and the marriage that starts after the vows.
