Maybe too close...All that changes when mysterious stranger, Hadrian Jamison, an escaped Adonirati, books passage to Alpha Centauri. Can he be trusted? Can the stories of his past be believed? As Liam's fascination with Hadrian grows, jealousy threatens to tear apart his friendship with Danverse. When Hadrian's owner shows up, Liam is forced to go against orders in order to launch a rescue mission to save him. The ensuing conflict may be more than any of them expected.

The trials and tribulations of the crew and passengers of interplanetary transport vessel, The Santa Claus continues in A Cook's Tale. After a horrific breakup, Erron Murfin is bitter, homeless, and friendless. When the cook's position on the Santa Claus presents itself, Erron decides to escape his current circumstances and join the crew. On board he reconnects with family friend Gamin Wells, whose own secrets and issues begin to surface upon Erron's arrival. The least of which is the reason the pair haven't laid eyes on one another in over twelve years. As Erron settles into his new duties, the men on board take an interest in their newest crew member. Among those intrigued by Erron are polyamorous couple, Barrus and James. Despite Erron's cautious nature, he's drawn into a triad relationship with the pair. But there's something about Gamin... Is Erron too damaged to confront his own feelings? Will his past prevent him from finding what he needs?

Costa McQuillen is a Pariah, a para-human with tech empathic abilities who has escaped from Earth, where being para-human is illegal, and marks him for extermination. Arrogant and standoffish, Costa is unable to trust anyone, but is willing to risk everyone's safety to reach the planet Omoikane. His best solution: gaining passage on board the Santa Claus. Arbor Kittering, the crew's newest coding tech, is a medical oddity. With the technologies available to prevent birth defects, Arbor's status as a dwarf brings the kind of attention he could happily do without. Having spent a short time in prison for data hacking and falsifying government files doesn't help. The Santa Claus is his last chance at a new start, if he can decipher the strange malfunctions plaguing the ship. Priest, the Santa Claus' Head Pilot, is a bit of a scoundrel. Perpetually single, Priest is attracted to Costa for his exotic looks, and to Arbor for his unique qualities. In truth, he'd like to have both, but it's clear such a thing isn't in the cards. Now Priest needs to make a choice, before it's too late.
