Has Romance?

There is a strong presence of romance in Resistance, particularly as the relationship between Imani and Vin develops throughout the story.

From The Publisher:

Imani James was a hunter, the kind of game ranger that tracked poachers and protected wildlife reserves in Tanzania after serving in the army for most of her twenties. She was good at her job, the best, but getting information and support from the Intersolar Union to protect Renata, the human colony on Yaspur, was like pulling teeth. So much so, that it reminded her of the corruption and illegal trade that plagued her work back on Earth.

When Imani finds out that Arms Master Vindilus Calgari is leaving Renata to "investigate" a lead on what's been happening to the colony, she grows suspicious. She's done her research. Vindilus was a black market enforcer before he donned his starched uniform. What's to say he won't make a sly deal that puts the fragile colony in jeopardy?

Or worse. What if he's just incompetent?

Imani's hard-headed suspicions and sharp wit push Vindilus over the edge. He's been keeping secrets from her for months, but not for the reasons she thinks. When an unexpected attack and rising tempers lead them to an accidental convergence, their lives are thrown into uncharted territory. Will they learn to accept each other before their enemies gain the upper hand?

***

The Intersolar Union series is a long-arc action-packed dramatic romance series featuring a different couple in each book (except for Books 1 & 2). Fans of Mass Effect will love this series!

While previous books could be read out of order, I do not recommend reading Resistance before other books in the series.

Books 3 onward contain dark themes. Features explicit adult scenes - mature readers only. All of my books are HEA, no cheating. Please read the content notes on my website: ettapierceromance.com
