Raphael’s Rescue

by C.J. Dragon

In an infinity of starlight, through anguish and betrayal, can love still shine?

Raphael Lewis of the Mars Colony wanted nothing more than to fly his ship, Agatha, and to remain with his family.

Lord Teo of the Chi’NoSa had other ideas.

On a routine trip to the asteroid belt, Raphael and Agatha are injured by a Chi’NoSa ship. After healing, he is held prisoner by the Chi’NoSa Lord Teo. Unsure what is wanted from him, and unfamiliar with Chi’NoSa protocol, Raphael only wishes to return home.

Lord Teo’s curiosity about the Mars colonist he inadvertently injured is a new emotion for him. So are the inappropriate lust and confusion. When his temper gets the best of him, he finds he needs Raphael’s forgiveness so he may learn why this man evokes such feelings in him.

Through misunderstanding and politics, Raphael and Teo must learn how to bring together two such disparate species, all while navigating their own love story. Will the Chi’NoSa ever accept Raphael as Teo’s? Or will their love be destroyed in a supernova?

Summary: A love like a force of nature. A second chance. Their last chance. Ivy: I was drawn to Caroline from the day we met, but we overwhelmed each other’s lives. Caroline consumed me. Her beauty, her vivacious light, her deep red hair, her… everything. I wasn’t ready to deal with the intensity of our relationship and my own feelings for her, so I forced myself to walk away. I regretted it and I still do. Without her, it was as though my world was drained of colour and life. I’ll always regret leaving her and losing the love we shared. I’ll always miss her whirlwind presence in my life. Unless I get her back, and convince her to take a chance on me one last time. Caroline: I’m not good at relationships. They don’t work out; not for me. My first and only true love left me. Ivy. My other relationships since then have been mere imitations of what I had with her. Reminders that she’s still inside me, making me want her. Ten years have passed. Easy years? No. Healthy years? No. But now I’m a better me. A healthier me. I lost myself in love once, and I can’t do that again. I have a new life. I have new balance. And now… I have her. Ivy’s back in my life. Just like that; delivered on a sunbeam. I mustn’t lose myself again. Not like before, but I'll take a chance on love again if it's for Ivy.
