“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.” Her words were quiet, measured.
Suspicion flared hot and bright in his mind, though he couldn’t be sure. “Are you some sort of thought reader?”
“It wouldn’t take an empath to figure out what you’re thinking, Commander Vank,” she denied with another of those confident smirks. “I’m going to give you some water now. You need it after so long in the regen bed,” this was delivered with more of that false sweetness.
A pounding head and dry throat gave truth to her words. With some effort, she positioned an arm beneath his neck and helped him up, so he could gulp at the sweet, cool liquid she offered. It was almost too sweet.
He had a moment to wonder how she, as strong as she looked, was going to move him to the promised state room if she struggled to merely lift his head. Vision swimming, it became apparent that she didn’t intend for him to remain conscious for the journey.

Found Earth Neverafter Book 4 – Coming April 2018
Lacy Callaghan has had it up to here with the CORANOS alien invaders, she’s tired of playing by their rules. When she’s hustled out of the Texas work camp, she thinks it could be her lucky day, the day she breaks out of captivity. But Jorkan and his co-conspirators have other plans for her. When Lacy is abducted and her abductor’s scheme gets derailed, she faces certain death. Rescued by pirates, her only company is the other hostage, Bram, a Doranos tracker. He’s not her favorite alien, but she does appreciate all he’s done to keep her safe and alive. Until she realizes the pirates have traded her to the surly Bram in exchange for completing a dangerous mission. If he fails, she’ll be sold to the highest bidder.
Bram belongs to no house, no family will claim the half-breed and he’s not welcome in any system. He found refuge when Commander Vank D’Corian recruited him to an elite squadron of Warriors. When their ship collapsed upon entering a wormhole, Bram saved his friend and Commander’s life. Vank repaid him by leaving him to rot on the pirate ship, the Nom’magata. Awoken from stasis, Bram has two choices; he can help the pirates evade a CORANOS assassin and earn the life of the Earther, Lacy, or he can die, thereby, sentencing the beautiful female to a life of slavery.
Now, the clock is ticking. If Bram doesn’t outwit the assassin, they’re all doomed. But, if he succeeds, he’ll be inches from a life he always wanted but never thought he could have.
