Without Hesitation is set a thousand years in the future. Earth has become a wasteland. Humans traveled into space to colonize other suitable planets. Labels and stereotypes are a thing of the past and gender and sexual identity are as fluid as love as humans strive to survive. Here we meet Everleigh, the commander of her ship named Nirvana. She is under the control of an evil madman, Caspar, who keeps her family captive. He sends her to Valinor to abduct the Empress Akacia. When she arrives, she is taken back by Akacia’s beauty and when the Empress fights back, Everleigh realizes she has met her match. **This book is an LGBTQ story with a female/female relationship.** Akacia’s POV: Without such much as a gasp she sat up with a wild look in her eyes and looked around the room frantically. I stayed in the chair watching as she looked around and then down at her wound. Finally, her golden eyes found mine. “Empress.” “I’m here,” I answered, going to her side. “It’s good you’re awake. Are you in any pain?” Her eyes searched mine, like she was looking for an answer for a question that I didn’t ask. She shook her head. A slight grimace on her face was the only sign she was in pain. “You fixed me.” “Your injuries weren’t that bad.” “Thanks.” “You can thank me by returning me to my planet,” was my firm response. “I saved your life, too. Shouldn’t we be even?” She was right, though I wasn’t giving in. I just needed some time to figure out how to get back home. “I am the Empress. My people depend on me. Can I at least call and tell them I’m alive?” “Fine, but you cannot tell them where you are.” “And where am I?” She held my eyes. “The Nirvana.” I knew the name, Nirvana. It was a ship of criminals that were wanted by the Authority for a long list of crimes including stealing and murder. I swallowed hard. What in the universe did the Nirvana want with me? My heart pounded, and I took deep breaths to calm myself down. Don’t show fear. Get word to Valinor. Bristow can figure out where I am. “Your reputation precedes you.” “Then you know just how lethal we are.” She shifted like she was uncomfortable. “Let’s get to the bridge.” “You should rest.” I didn’t know why I was still concerned about her wellbeing, but I was. |
Akacia and Everleigh have been apart for almost an earthmonth. Both still reeling from recent events, they try to get their lives back on track. They soon find out an evil from their past has resurfaced and their lives and home planet Valinor are in danger. Side-by-side once again, they find themselves fighting for love, peace, and their homes. **This is an LGBT story with a female/female relationship.** |
