In a galaxy where second chances come at a steep price, two old friends find their paths crossing once more, igniting a slow-burning flame of redemption and reconciliation. Years of silence and light-years of distance separate Zaven and Sasha, but fate isn't finished with them yet. As they confront the ghosts of their past and the uncertainties of their future, they'll discover that some bonds can't be broken—not by time, space, or even death itself.
Join them on a journey through a treacherous universe, where old wounds heal slowly, trust is hard-earned, and love might just be the most dangerous mission of all.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Lots of voice, tons of snark, and even more heart."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #1
Zaven Adhzivian. Former Praetorian. Current liability.
He's been drinking his way across the outer rims long enough to know that vigilante justice doesn't fill the hole she left.
Neither does cheap sake, a borrowed bed, or picking fights with men twice as dangerous as he is. But it keeps his hands busy. And busy hands don't shake.
When his small acts of chaos accidentally get his only remaining friend taken, Zaven has to make a choice: keep his head down, or go in with guns blazing and no backup.
He goes in with guns blazing.
This is where the Phantom Vengeance story begins — not with a romance, but with the broken man at the centre of one. A queer MFM slow burn spanning the whole series, one found family built in the dark, and a love story that takes its time because these people have earned the right to be complicated.
Grief, gunfire, and the people he swore he didn't need.
Book one of the Phantom Vengeance series comes with a HFN-ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore, dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material, alcohol.

"This author is the absolute MASTER of the slow burn. If you want yearning, pining, absolute longing… you’ve found the right series."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #2
Captain Sasha Barrett is on a mission. Murder is the goal. Revenge is the motive.
Ever since Sasha's eyes flickered open to cold laboratory lights, her body has been whole, but something alien lies under her skin. The cybernetics fused with her organic tissue weren't a rescue — they were someone's work.
She's going to find them. Make them pay. And if a body count follows, that's their fault for starting it.
The problem isn't the mission. The problem is she can't run it without someone watching her six.
Her best friend is a SpecOps sniper. She could just ask him. Except... she hasn’t spoken to him in three years. She’s been meaning to call him. Honest!
The longer she keeps him in the dark, the easier it is to avoid finding out if she's still the soldier he once knew.
Turns out three years of silence doesn't survive five minutes in a firefight together.
And Zaven always could see straight through her.
Phantom Vengeance is a queer MFM slow burn, one relationship spanning the whole series. A scrappy crew built on banter and bad odds, a love story that refuses to be rushed, and people complicated enough to earn it.
Adventure, banter, and the galaxy's most inconvenient feelings. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore (torture, death, blood, dead bodies), dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material, drugs & alcohol.

"There is plenty of longing, some truly sweet moments, but the anticipation… whew. Not to mention the absolute hilarity - both from the crew and from the ship’s artificial intelligence program."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #3
Sasha's got 99 problems. Alien horniness just became numbers one and two.
Sasha Barrett has survived worse than this. She just can't remember what, exactly.
The facility took more than her health — it took months she'll never get back, and left behind a body that betrays her in ways she can't hide and won't explain.
The problem is Castin already knows. Zaven's oldest friend, who has spent decades wanting things he won't let himself have — and Sasha is rapidly becoming one of them.
She's not ready for Zaven to see how broken she is. Not ready for what Castin makes her feel. Not ready for any of this.
It's a hot mess. Someone’s getting burned.
Phantom Vengeance is a queer MFM slow burn, one relationship spanning the whole series. A scrappy crew built on bad odds and borrowed time, a love story that refuses to be rushed, and people complicated enough to earn it.
A casino heist, banter, and feelings nobody asked for and nobody's handling. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore (torture, death), dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material (including BDSM), drugs & alcohol.

"The slowest of slow burns is still burning, and also absolutely stomping on my heart guts."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #4
Revenge tastes sweet. Family interference tastes like shit.
Sasha finally has the coordinates to the bastards who experimented on her. Payback is within reach.
Instead? She's trapped in hyperspace on a dying ship, a sentient AI with boundary issues, and Cassivia Adhzivian — who has decided that her brother's life choices are a problem she personally needs to fix.
The mission just went from complicated to catastrophic.
Sasha's implants are glitching at the worst possible moments. Castin is one bad night away from saying something that can't be unsaid. And Zaven can't catch a break — his sister came all this way to fix him and she's not leaving until she does.
Some secrets survive being kept. Others eat you alive until there's nothing left to protect.
Phantom Vengeance is a queer MFM slow burn, one relationship spanning the whole series. A scrappy crew built on bad odds and borrowed time, a love story that refuses to be rushed — and people complicated enough to earn it.

PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #4.5
Coming 2026
Sasha “I’m fine” Barrett would like you to know she is absolutely, completely, totally fine.
She has the receipts for every piece of herself she’s had to replace. She doesn’t need help. Doesn’t need concern. Doesn’t need the unsolicited opinions about her life choices.
She especially doesn’t need Castin and his lilac eyes tracking her every move like he’s already written the eulogy.
Castin is very tired of pretending to believe her.
When Sasha takes a routine job that pays triple the going rate, he's not letting her out of his sight. When the station goes into lockdown, the package turns out to be more than advertised, and someone's already dead — he stops pretending about a lot of things.
Some things are more dangerous than gunfire around a burning Christmas tree.
Turns out Sasha Barrett is one of them.
A Phantom Vengeance Christmas novella. Can be read as a standalone — but the slow burn runs deeper if you've met them before. Part of a queer MFM sci-fi romance series.
Adventure, banter, and two people running out of reasons not to be honest. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore, dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexual material.
