She was sent to kill him.
He gave the order that destroyed her squadron.
Now they are the only ones who can stop the next war.
Five years ago, an interstellar war left millions dead, and two human factions still circle each other with loaded weapons.
Coalition pilot Kira Vasic receives a final mission: board the decommissioned warship Meridian, assess its former commander, and end him if she must.
She carries encrypted assassination orders and the names of forty three dead crew.
She does not carry forgiveness.
The Man Behind the Order
Commander Thane Aldric gave up his command to serve as diplomatic liaison on the ship that was once his weapon.
He eats alone.
He flinches at unexpected touch.
He has replayed the Battle of Kael-7 a thousand times, and every replay ends the same way: the order that haunts him, and the silence that followed.
A Ceasefire on the Edge of Breaking
When a saboteur destroys a transit corridor and frames the Coalition, the fragile ceasefire begins to crack.
Evidence points everywhere and nowhere, and the only way to find the truth is a joint investigation.
Enemies work shoulder to shoulder in corridors that feel tighter every day, sharing meals they both pretend are operational.
But the saboteur is closer than either suspects, and the trail leads through fabricated intelligence, buried war crimes, and a conspiracy designed to reignite a war that never truly ended.
The Most Dangerous Thing on This Ship
What is building between the pilot who counts her dead and the commander who cannot forget his orders is either the most dangerous liability on this ship, or the only thing that can save it.
The enemy you cannot forgive.
The ship you cannot leave.
The war only you can stop.

Inside Both Their Heads
Alternating dual POV, because one side of an enemies to lovers story is never enough.
You get his guilt and her rage in the same breath, chapter by chapter.
Here, the hero is never a mystery.
Kira and Thane both get their own chapters, so his guilt sits right there on the page next to her rage.
Kira Vasic and Thane Aldric: The Starfall Accord Lovers
Kira Vasic is a Coalition pilot on what was meant to be her last mission.
Thane Aldric gave up command of the warship Meridian and now serves as its diplomatic liaison, and she is forced aboard.
Both leads are written from the inside, so you follow the slow burn from her point of view and from his.
The romance stays closed door throughout, and the first kiss lands in chapter fifteen of twenty two.
The book is a standalone with a guaranteed happy ending and no cliffhanger.
Every secret he keeps from her, you already know.
That is where the ache lives.
Kira and Thane alternate chapters from the first page.
You feel her rage when she boards his ship.
You feel his guilt when he sees a Kael-7 survivor in his corridors.
When she checks her assassination orders, you already know he is starting to trust her.
When he flinches at an accidental touch, you understand exactly why.
And what it will mean when he stops flinching.
Two people falling for exactly the reasons they should be enemies.
The dramatic irony will wreck you.
Step into either head
Alternating dual POV (both points of view)Same scenes, two heads.
Switch sides and feel the dramatic irony.
Kira: Boarding the ship she was sent to destroy
- Her rage the moment she boards his ship.
- She checks her assassination orders, not yet knowing he is already starting to trust her.
Two perspectives.
One slow burn.
A Slow Burn That Earns Every Moment
This is a slow burn built to be counted: every glance and every near miss earns its place before the payoff arrives.
This one builds across twenty two chapters.
He says her first name for the first time after thirteen chapters of her last.
No kiss before chapter fifteen.
Every escalation comes from a plot event: a life saved, a secret shared, a conspiracy that forces trust.
Chapter 1: two officers from opposing factions, assigned to the same warship.
The Found Family You Didn't Know You Needed
The crew of the Meridian didn't choose each other, and by the end you won't be able to imagine them any other way.
Human characters only.
Two factions.
One ship.
No one asked if they wanted to be a family.
Colleagues first, then allies, because the war never gave them a choice.
By the end, they are the family neither faction could give them.
Curious which of them you'd be? Take the crew quiz → Or meet the whole crew in the character guide.

I’ve never heard of this author. How do I know it’s good?
Fair question.
Start with the free three chapter sample, no email required.
The sample is not a polished shop window: chapters one to three are the same prose, the same editing pass and the same dual POV structure as the other nineteen.

Is this AI generated?

It was carefully edited into a complete 90,000+ word novel, 22 chapters that build to a fully resolved romance arc.
It is an EPUB and PDF you can read on any device and keep forever.
Is this actually sci fi romance, or is the sci fi just wallpaper?
Both the sci fi and the romance carry equal weight: the sabotage investigation drives the plot, the relationship drives the emotional arc, and the two are intertwined.
Investigation breakthroughs happen alongside relationship milestones.
Neither feels like filler for the other.
This is sci fi romance with no aliens, human only.
How slow is the slow burn, really?
No kiss before chapter fifteen, out of twenty two.
The enemies to lovers tension builds through shared investigations, forced proximity, late nights on the bridge, and the specific agony of watching someone you should hate be impossibly good at their job.
Is this an alien romance?
No.
Human only universe, no alien species of any kind.
This is a story about two human factions who went to war with each other, and two people from opposite sides learning what peace actually costs.
What’s the heat level?
Slow burn, closed door.
Fourteen chapters of tension before the first kiss.
The intimacy is emotional, not explicit, and the door stays closed.
A touch starved hero experiencing real connection for the first time.
Is this a standalone or do I need to commit to a series?
Book 1 has a complete romance arc with a guaranteed happily ever after and a fully resolved mystery.
The series arc (political stability between the factions) stays open for books 2 and 3, which follow different couples from the crew.
You will not be left on a cliffhanger, though you will want to read on anyway.
How do I read the ebook on my Kindle?
The book comes as an EPUB and PDF that are yours to keep.
For Kindle, use Amazon’s free Send to Kindle tool to deliver the EPUB to your device.
It also opens directly on Kobo, phones, tablets, and in any browser.
Is it on Kindle Unlimited or Amazon?
No. Availability: The Starfall Accord is launching soon, direct from the author on this site only, as an EPUB and PDF with no copy protection. Wide retail distribution is planned but not yet live.
Selling direct means the file has no copy protection and stays yours forever: no store can pull it from your library, and it still reads perfectly on a Kindle via Amazon’s free Send to Kindle tool.

Change of mind requests are reviewed case by case within the same window on an honour system.
Your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law, EU consumer law and UK consumer law are not affected by this policy.
Full refund policy at /refund-policy/.
Is the hero a real character or just muscles with a backstory?
Thane Aldric has his own POV chapters, his own arc, his own wounds, and his own growth.
He is a tactical genius and a reluctant diplomat who flinches at unexpected touch, because years of command isolation have made vulnerability feel dangerous.
You will be inside his head often enough to know exactly why he flinches, and exactly what it costs him not to.
Are there consent issues in the enemies to lovers dynamic?
No.
Every escalation of intimacy in this book is a mutual choice.
The enemies to lovers tension comes from conflicting loyalties and forced teamwork, not from power imbalances or coercion.
Both protagonists have full agency throughout.
Is this like ACOTAR or Fourth Wing but in space?
The comparison fits: think of it as romantasy but in space, with the same political intrigue, enemies to lovers tension, and slow burn.
No fae, no dragons.
Just a warship, a conspiracy, and two people who are absolutely going to fall for each other.
Eventually.
Who is this book NOT for?
Skip this one if you want alien or monster romance: the universe is human only, no alien species of any kind.
Skip it if you want open door, explicit heat: the door stays closed and the intensity is emotional.
Skip it if you want a single POV: the story alternates between Kira and Thane in dual POV.
And skip it if you want a cliffhanger serial: this is a standalone with a complete, fully resolved romance arc.
Worried it will not work on your Kindle?
