Dallas and Lex were always a given. I personally never questioned their compatibility; they were a fact of Sector Four. Wasn’t I a fool?
As it turns out, there’s a whole story behind these two.
This almost novel length novella starts with a current day scene where Dallas is facing an item in his office, an item that brings back memories. A specific one, that opens the story of the past.
When the initial story of the O’Kanes began, Dallas was just a bootlegger, a bully, but a fierce and caring bully. Mad, Flash, Jas and several others were with him, including Nessa and her grandfather, when a thief shows up and caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Quite literally. The thief is Lex, and after a rather amusing confrontation where she gives back what she stole, she leaves the sector.
Only then Dallas realizes what she did steal is worth a helluva lot more than what she gave back. And a(wo)man hunt begins, and ends when she shows up and gives back a valuable credit stick. And so begins the story of Dallas and Lex.
It takes a long time of them circling around each other, of Dallas avoiding Lex, of Lex working very meticulously on building Dallas up from who she was when they first met, until they realize ignoring their feelings for each other, and actually admitting them, is futile.
Rocha answers so many unasked questions here, that I honestly felt like I read a whole new story with the same familiar characters. There’s sexy, there’s sass, there’s flirting and erotica (of course), there’s frustrating and cute, there’s funny and there’s a wonderful mutiny that fits today’s RL current affairs beautifully. This story might as well have occur today.

Before they were the King and Queen…
Six years before the Beyond series started, an ambitious bootlegger named Dallas O’Kane caught a very pretty thief named Lex with her hand in his safe.
The rest is very sexy history.
In Beyond Forever, follow Dallas and Lex through the turning points in their relationship, from the night he caught her trying to rob him, through his rise to successful bootlegger, to legend, to Sector Leader–with Lex always there, willing to give him the push he needs.
Beyond Forever is a prequel novella that jumps through time to tell the story of the biggest moments in the formation of the O’Kanes and their King and Queen. It will be far more enjoyable if you’ve already read Beyond Control, and contains spoilers for the entire Beyond series.
