    Pre-order the special edition of Only Bad Options . . .

    I am doing a special edition for Only Bad Options, book #1 in my Galactic Bonds series. It’s the story you know and love in a special collector’s edition! Here is a look at the dust jacket, the sprayed edges, and the hardcover book. Isn’t it gorgeous??? 😎

    The special edition features:

    • A dark blue dust jacket with silver foil
    • A black/dark gray hardcover book with blue/purple foil
    • Color endpapers
    • Color/sprayed edges
    • A two-page interior map
    • A new interior print design
    • Kitty Boodle Easter eggs hidden in the art 😁🐈

    The dust jacket, hardcover, map, and endpapers were designed by the awesome Jenny Zemanek, while the interior print design is by The INKfluence, who also guided the book (and me!) through the production process.

    SPECIAL EDITION PRICE AND SHIPPING:

    The special edition of Only Bad Options is $60. I’m estimating the shipping will be $10, but it might be more/less, depending on postage prices, especially during the holiday season.

    I hope to receive the special edition books by mid-December, so I can’t guarantee that they will arrive in time for Christmas. Please keep that in mind when ordering.

    I also have some oopsie copies of Only “Rouge” Actions available.

    The rest of my print books, bookmarks, etc. are the usual prices with the usual shipping rates. If you don’t want a special edition copy of Options, I can ship your books out the first/second week of December, so you should receive those in time for the holidays. But again, no guarantees.

    I will share more info about the special edition — especially potential shipping dates/costs — as it becomes available. In the meantime, I am doing a happy dance over the book. I hope everyone loves the special edition as much as I do. Thank you for reading! ❤️

    ONLY BAD OPTIONS DESCRIPTION:

    “This is space opera at its finest.” — Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep blasts off with an exciting new science-fiction fantasy adventure with a dash of historical romance. This action-packed space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, DuneBridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO SEES EVERYTHING . . .

    Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research and development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me.

    I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

    I don’t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.

    A MAN WHO CAN’T FORGET HIS PAST . . .

    The name Kyrion Caldaren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corios are afraid of me.

    But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.

    Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the deadly enemies who want to bend us to their will.

    ONLY ROGUE ACTIONS DESCRIPTION:

    “This is space opera at its finest.”—Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Only Bad Options

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds series with a new, action-packed adventure that blends science fiction, fantasy, and historical romance. This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soulmates story and “Pew! Pew! Pew!” battle scenes. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO DREAMS OF THE FUTURE . . .

    Once upon a time, I was Vesper Quill, a lowly lab rat using my seer magic and engineering skills to repair broken appliances at a Regal-owned corporation. These days, I’m one of the most infamous and wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy, along with Kyrion Caldaren, my partner.

    Kyrion and I are hiding out on a distant planet when we are offered a chance to train at a prestigious facility in hopes of better understanding our truebond, the psionic connection that lets us share thoughts, feelings, skills, and more.

    Mastering our magic is the only way we can hope to defeat our many enemies and make my dreams of a safe future a reality, so Kyrion and I accept the invitation. But evil forces are at work, and our training exercise is not what it seems, plunging us both into another deadly situation with only bad options.  

    A MAN WHO CAN’T ESCAPE HIS PAST . . .
    I’ve always been Kyrion Caldaren, a Regal lord with telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other powerful psionic abilities. I might have gone rogue from the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite warriors, but my fighting skills are as sharp and deadly as ever.

    Vesper Quill and I need help with our truebond, so we agree to participate in a rigorous training exercise designed to test the depths of our connection. But a new enemy has other plans, and we’re soon separated and confronted with one dangerous obstacle after another.

    But my love for Vesper is stronger than any forces set against us, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make my way back to her—and kill anyone who gets in my way.

    Note: Only Rogue Actions is a 55,000-word book.
