Description

When a deep-space transport suffers a cascading systems failure, two men are left awake while the rest of the crew sleeps in cryo—alone, under pressure, and weeks from rescue.

Flight specialist Jace Mercer and systems engineer Elias Ford were trained to keep the ship alive, not to navigate isolation this intense or proximity this unforgiving. As emergencies stack and margins shrink, routine gives way to tension, and tension to something neither of them planned for. In a vessel built to carry humanity forward, desire becomes both distraction and anchor.

Critical Mass is a high-stakes science fiction romance that blends technical realism with raw intimacy—alarms, spacewalks, failing systems, and the quiet moments in between where everything human slips through. It's a story about survival, sacrifice, and what happens when connection becomes the only thing holding you together.

Breathless, steamy, and emotionally grounded, Critical Mass explores love under impossible conditions—and the cost of choosing it when there's no room left for error.

Under pressure.
