Mayday
The other man in the loop isn't the villain Dez braced for. He's what Dez becomes if he loses.
Dez Ferro has his crew now — five women who remember every death with him, bonded into the loop and into his bed. A family he clawed out of a dying star, a bed nobody's cold in anymore. What he doesn't have is a way out that won't kill every one of them.
Then the other man riding the loop steps into the light, and Captain Aldous Crane isn't the enemy Dez braced for. He's a warning. Crane escaped this star once, centuries of mornings ago — and watched the woman he loved come apart in three seconds of open sky, un-anchored, erased. He's kept the whole crew dying in here ever since. Because in the loop, she's still alive.
So he offers Dez the same mercy: stay, and none of them ever dies for good — every perfect, filthy night resets clean and comes again. It lands hardest on Imara, who'd rather cage them all forever than lose one of them twice. She sabotages a run to keep them safe, and the family Dez built starts coming apart from the inside — in his bed and out of it.
Mayday raises the stakes of the Hard Burn saga — a men's harem why-choose sci-fi romance where keeping them alive stopped being the same as loving them, the heat's the only thing warmer than the star, and the man Dez is fighting is who he'll become if he loses. Some mornings don't come. Run anyway.
