Synopsis
To save a galactic kingdom from revolution, Kindred mind-pairings were created to ensure each and every person would be seen and heard, no matter how rich or poor…
Joy Abara knows her place. A commoner from the lowly planet Hali, she lives a simple life—apart from the notoriety that being Kindred to the nobility’s most infamous playboy brings.
Duke Felix Hamdi has a plan. He will exasperate his noble family to the point that they agree to let him choose his own future and finally meet his Kindred face-to-face.
Then the royal family is assassinated, putting Felix next in line for the throne… and accused of the murders. Someone will stop at nothing until he’s dead, which means they’ll target Joy, too. Meeting in person for the first time as they steal a spacecraft and flee amid chaos might not be ideal… and neither is crash-landing on the strange backward planet called Earth. But hiding might just be the perfect way to discover the true strength of the Kindred bond and expose a scandal — and a love — that may decide the future of a galaxy.
Excerpt
“No. Please,” he pleads. “You’re the only person I want to see on our birthday. The only one that matters.” He mistakenly says that last bit aloud, causing the chatter around him to stop and his friends to stare our way. Well, his way.
-page 87 of The Kindred, uncorrected ARC edition
If I can judge their soured expressions, I’d say they’re offended. But I cant read their minds, only his. And his mind… Its thinking impossible things.
You are my everything.
Don’t leave me.
Stay with me.
Run away with me. The thought repeats over and over and over.
