The Penumbra Paradox — Jennifer Fales

Nahlah Penumbra is genetically unique, the daughter of a slave of unknown origins and powerful Ceterian casino mogul Rell Penumbra. Freed from her gilded prison and taken off planet under the pretense of acting as an ambassador for the powerful House of Penumbra, the twenty-three-year-old soon learns her father, whose love she so desperately wants, sees her as nothing more than a bargaining chip, for real estate, with an alien warlord. With no one to save her and the odds stacked against her, will Nahlah be strong enough to take charge of her own fate?
