Artemis II: The Gravity of Us
In the cold vastness of space, desire is the one force they cannot escape.
By Evan Blackthorne
On the first crewed mission to return to lunar orbit in decades, Commander Lyra Voss is determined to lead with perfect control. Brilliant, disciplined, and emotionally untouchable, she has spent years proving that nothing matters more than the mission.
Then she finds herself trapped in deep space with the one man she has never been able to forget.
Pilot Elias Cade is steady under pressure, lethal with a flight system, and far too dangerous to want. In the silence between Earth and the Moon, old tension becomes unbearable as confinement, sleeplessness, and the vast isolation of space strip away every last excuse between them.
But the mission is carrying more than four astronauts.
Hidden aboard Artemis II is Tether, a classified program designed to study whether intense emotional attachment can become a survival advantage in deep space. As Lyra and Elias are pulled closer together, they begin to suspect that someone is watching not just how they fly… but how they feel.
And when the truth fractures their trust on the far side of the Moon, the mission begins to fail.
Now, with the spacecraft spiraling toward disaster and the world still out of reach, Lyra and Elias must decide whether what burns between them was manipulated—or whether it is the only real thing left.
Artemis II: The Gravity of Us is a gripping sci-fi romance filled with forbidden desire, forced proximity, emotional tension, space survival, a secret experiment, and a powerful slow-burn payoff.
For readers who love:
astronaut romance, intelligent heroines, intense pilots, claustrophobic space settings, forbidden attraction, trust-and-betrayal tension, and love stories forged under impossible pressure.
