'I walked over to him and took his hand . . . We were at the heart of our very own universe'
Olivia and her twin brother, Aidan, are heading alone on their ship back to Earth following the virus that completely wiped out their crew, and their family in its entirety.


Nathan's ship is heading in the opposite direction, but on the journey it is attacked. Only a few survive.
When their lives suddenly collide, Nathan and Olivia are instantly attracted to each other, deeply, completely head over heels.


But not everyone is pleased. Surrounded by rumours, deception, even murder, is it possible to live out a happy-ever-after...?
