She was hired to steal.She was forced to obey.She chose to rebel.Smuggler and pilot Gwyn Casteliano has survived by trusting her ship, her instincts, and very few people. When a powerful military authority corners her with an impossible ultimatum-run an illegal mission or lose everything she loves-Gwyn is forced into a job she knows will end badly.Assigned a by-the-book military escort who believes in rules she's spent her life breaking, Gwyn launches into deep space on a mission that quickly unravels. The cargo is dangerous. The truth is worse. And the system she's been ordered to serve is hiding a secret worth killing for.As bounty hunters close in, alliances fracture, and the line between right and wrong blurs, Gwyn must decide how far she's willing to go to protect innocent lives-and whether freedom is worth becoming a fugitive.Forced Orbit is a fast-paced space opera packed with smuggling runs, daring escapes, found family, and a slow-burn romance forged under fire. Perfect for readers who love Firefly-style adventure, morally gray heroes, and rebellion against corrupt authority.
