Nagamana lost his family. After that, work was what was left. He put everything he had into it, built his life around the engines and the battleships, and decided that was enough.
Then Chopper came into his world, and enough stopped being the right word.
Nagamana is an emotional sci-fi romance novel about a man who shut the door on connection and a woman who got pulled through it anyway.
Nagamana is one of the most skilled mechanics working the battleships of the Tri Galaxies. He is good at his work because he gives it everything. After losing the people he loved, that focus was not a choice. It was survival.
Chopper is a southern girl who had no reason to ever end up in a place like the Tri Galaxies. A camping trip, a kidnapping, and a series of events she could not have predicted dropped her into a world she does not know, with people she does not understand, and one man she cannot stop thinking about.
This alien kidnapping romance does not play the premise light. The displacement is real. The fear is real. So is the pull between two people who were never supposed to meet.
He is not a man who opens up on command. The loss he carries is not something he talks about, and it is not something he lets people see. He built walls the way he builds everything else, with precision and with the intention of them holding.
What Chopper does to those walls is not dramatic. It is steady. And steady, it turns out, gets through things that force never could.
He is at the center of this alien warrior mechanic love story because he carries both of those things at once. The warrior who knows how to fight and the mechanic who knows how to fix, except for the one thing he has been unable to touch since he lost his family.
Chopper did not ask for any of this. She was not looking for love in another galaxy. She was not even looking for adventure. She was on a camping trip.
What she finds in Nagamana is not what she expected to find anywhere. He is difficult, guarded, and not particularly interested in making things easy for her. But she is a southern girl with more spine than he gave her credit for, and she does not fold under pressure.
Her presence is what forces him to feel things he buried. That is the emotional center of this story, and it is why this battleship mechanic romance hits as hard as it does.
Nagamana is the first book in The Deal Series, a sci-fi romance series set across the Tri Galaxies. It is a good place to start. The world introduced here carries through every book in the series, and the characters you meet in Nagamana reappear as the series grows.
Nagamana is available now in the shop. If you are drawn to emotional sci-fi romance novels with a hero who earns his feelings the hard way, this is where the series begins.
