Matched to the Navigator

When an AI hijacks your ship and crashes you into a volcanic moon, falling in love is the least logical outcome.

Shivani The Tracker Solis has her life mapped to three decimal places, every salvage job calculated, every credit accounted for, every variable controlled. Until a mysterious sabotage sends her crashing onto Ignis-4, a dying moon that's literally tearing itself apart.

Zydar has spent three years in isolation, desperately trying to stabilize a planetary core that refuses to cooperate. The last thing his rigidly logical Vesperan mind needs is a chaotic human woman bleeding in the wreckage, except his body has other ideas. The Instabond hits like a seismic event, rewriting his carefully ordered existence in ways no algorithm can predict.

Now they have 48 hours before the moon explodes, hostile forces closing in, and a failing planetary stabilizer that requires one impossible solution: the two of them, skin to skin, feeding a crystal with the bio-energy of their connection.

Zydar calculates probabilities. Shivani navigates impossible vectors. Together, they might just survive long enough to realize that some equations can only be solved by surrendering to the chaos.

A volcanic moon. A Vesperan scientist who thinks feelings are system malfunctions. A navigator who color-codes her emotions. And an AI matchmaker playing cosmic cupid with people's lives.

Because nothing says romance like saving a planet while falling catastrophically, illogically, irreversibly in love.

Book 2 in the Celestial Matchmaking series, where an ancient AI crashes ships, ruins plans, and proves that the best matches are the ones that make absolutely no sense on paper.
