It’s a different world. Space has been colonized, the wealthy fly to work rather than drive, and slavery is legal. Jason’s family has been ripped apart by tragedy. The only way he can save the ones left is to offer himself up as a bondmate. The more he’s willing to give, the higher the price he can command. Devin is wealthy and heartbroken after the wife he adored walked out on him. He isn’t looking for love. All he wants is a relationship he can control. Buying a bondmate seems like the perfect solution. Yet when he purchases Jason’s contract, Devin gets more than he bargained for. "Redemption," by author Olivia Duncan Craig, is a little bit action, a little bit sci-fi, a little bit sexy. But more than anything else, it's the story of two people finding love where they least expect it.
