Alexis has been property her entire life. Stolen as a child, sold, and experimented on until metal replaced bone and color-shifting eyes replaced the ones she was born with, she has survived by becoming whatever the moment required. She knows how to be anyone. She does not know how to be herself.
When she finds herself aboard a ship of misfit space wanderers who cannot quite decide if she is a stolen pleasure droid or a woman, Alexis encounters something she has never had: a choice. Their captain, Lochlann, is a Draig dragon-shifter banned from his homeworld, a man with an inconvenient code of honor and a way of looking at her that makes her feel like something she stopped believing she was. Real. He needs something only she can give him. She needs a reason to stay.
She has spent her entire life being told what she was. He is the first person to ask.
Lochlann has spent years searching for one woman, his only key to reclaiming his honor and returning home. What he finds instead is Alexis. She is not what he was looking for. She is something he was not prepared for. The dragon in him already knows the difference.
Her captors are coming to reclaim her. They call her a model. An asset. Property. Lochlann has a different word for her, though he is still finding it. What he has is a ship, a crew ready to bleed for her, and the absolute conviction that whatever she has been made into does not change what she is.
They built an empire on her likeness. He wants to give her back her name.
