Hunter Bond — Carysa Locke

A sick child. Every parent's worst fear. Even if that parent is one of the most dangerous killers in the galaxy.

Sanah and Dem always knew any child they had would be special. As the offspring of an empath and a psychically gifted Hunter and Killer, three-year-old Tamari is one-of-a-kind. When a mysterious illness threatens her life, Sanah and Dem would do anything to help her. Even if it tears their marriage apart.

Note: This short story in the telepathic space pirates' universe takes place roughly three years after the events in Pirate Bound.
