Broken Arrow by Marianne Chappell — book cover

A future she doesn't belong in.
A family she can't bear to lose.

I was supposed to wake up and take my final mechanic's certification exam.

Instead, I woke up two hundred years too late. Alone, forgotten and stranded in a future where I don't officially exist. I have nothing and no one.

No one hires an apprentice from a station that no longer exists, so I lied. And for a while it seemed to work. I found a place on the Broken Arrow - a ship barely holding together, and a crew with a 'no questions asked' policy.

I should have known it wouldn't last.

Then there's Thomas.

Thomas Shaw, the ship's operations officer. He sees too much. Every time he looks at me, it's like he sees through all my lies.

I kinda wish he did, because the longer I stay, the more I want to belong.

But the truth always comes out. And when it does, I'll lose everything.

Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, and Mass Effect, this found-family space adventure delivers high-stakes, slow-burn romance and one mechanic fighting for her place in a world that left her behind.
