關於這本電子書
She knows that love is not forever and the universe will find a way to devastate you when you begin to trust anyone with your life.
After her indentureship to the pirate Hellebor was paid by Kash Trider, Lehana and Kash started a new life with different names on a bucolic ag planet. As Nisa Star and Kieran Sulien, they and the two children are thriving and the Raeaa colonists have embraced them as one of their own.
But the agricultural life in every Rim ag planet is put at risk when a virus begins decimating the crops and then infecting the people with a wasting disease—a disease that can kill an entire population within a few months. As Rim scientists rush to find a cure, Nisa and her ship are called to take trial vaccines to every impacted colony.
What seems to be an easy run to save the Rim is thrown into peril when KaCorp makes a power play to corner the market and sell the vaccine only to colonists who can afford their exorbitant price. They’ve forcefully taken over the research facility and destroyed all the equipment. The scientists have been imprisoned and their work stolen. Worse, to distract Nisa from her mission, someone has kidnapped Kieran and he is dying alone on a poisoned planetoid she can’t find.
Thrown into a fight for the lives of all those on the Rim, Nisa must make heartbreaking choices, face the call of revenge, find a way to her own redemption, and ultimately learn to embrace the gifts of the cryoborn. To win she must learn to trust her life and those of her family not only to those she knows, but to complete strangers…the one thing her entire life experience has taught her never to do.

關於作者
Maggie describes herself as an idealistic nerd with a romantic streak that surpasses any scientific explanation. Writing stories and making music has been a part of her DNA as long as she can remember. As a child she wanted to learn EVERYTHING, and as fast as possible. She wanted to know how a car engine worked and what made people tick. She organized children to re-enact her favorite movies in the backyard and wrote stories and plays about worlds she'd never seen.
Her love of life-long learning garnered degrees in psychology, counseling, computer science, and culminated in an Ed.D. If she were independently wealthy she would probably add more education to the list because she'd love to delve more into physics and cosmology and it’s relationship to religion and faith. Her previous career was primarily in academia and ended with a few years of educational consulting in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.
Though those were exciting and rewarding times, Maggie is now doing what she dreamed of since the 4th grade—writing stories that entertain, that share her love of learning, and that remake the world into what she wants it to be. With more than 20 titles now published, Maggie is on her way to reaching that dream.
All of Maggie's fiction is character driven and reinforces that life is about making heroic choices one messy moment at a time. She and her husband have settled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, in the United States, where she now writes full-time. Her fiction spans romance, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy titles. Her current non-fiction work focuses on helping career authors succeed in the business and technical side of writing and publishing.
