Zane: Intergalactic Dating Agency
by Kate Rudolph
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A fast-paced space adventure romance where a charming dragon lord and a no-nonsense cargo pilot discover that running from your problems just leads you straight to your fated mate. The pirate attack forces real vulnerability from both characters, and the chemistry between reckless Zane and guarded Mercy is combustible. Quick, satisfying, and surprisingly emotionally resonant for its length.
Synopsis
He is the scandalous lord no one takes seriously, and he’s determined to keep it that way… Zane’s plan is sabotage his own royal matchmaking by vanishing for a week. All it takes is a few reckless smiles, a little mischief, and a quick getaway with jaded cargo pilot Mercy Webb, who’s willing to haul him to the farthest edge of the sector. Perfect. No obligations. No scrutiny. No strings. Until pirates storm their ship and turn his simple game into a fight for survival. Mercy has no patience for spoiled nobles or the trouble they cause. She survives on grit, skill, and never letting anyone close, not after what her father’s legacy cost her. All she wants is enough credits to keep her ship in the sky. Instead, she is stuck with too pretty, too curious, and far too tempting. Now survival means working together to outwit ruthless pirates and navigate the wildfire chemistry sparking between them. To win this fight, they must risk the one thing they both swore never to give trust.
