"Lost Among the Stars" A Star Wars Romance Story by Chris9417

When a spice run goes wrong, the former Jedi turned smuggler, Lyra, finds herself stranded in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy after a desperate jump into hyperspace. With no way of knowing where she is, she's rescued by a sleek Chiss warship, commanded by the mysterious and strikingly beautiful Captain Veyri'ana. As they navigate through the vast unknown, Lyra and Veyri'ana begin to forge an unlikely bond-one that mixes tension with undeniable chemistry. As their relationship grows from reluctant alliance to something deeper, Lyra's playful flirtation and bold advances push Veyri'ana to confront her own guarded emotions. What starts as a mere rescue mission turns into a journey of self-discovery and undeniable attraction, as Lyra teases the captain about the possibility of a future together-perhaps even marriage by Chiss standards. But Veyri'ana, a woman of duty and secrets, is hesitant to embrace the kind of commitment Lyra so freely offers. As their paths intertwine, they both learn that love and loyalty can emerge even in the darkest corners of space, and that sometimes, a little chaos can bring the greatest reward. In this story of adventure, trust, and passion, Lyra and Veyri'ana must navigate not only the dangers of the galaxy but also the complexities of their own hearts, proving that even the most unlikely of pairings can evolve into something profound.

Soul Ties by amaleno

No matter which planet you reside on, it is known that one must meet with the Goddess Of Beginnings to find out who they are soul tied to. Once you know, you must then leave your planet and start a new life with them. Refusal will end up with banishment to the planet Plut, an ice covered wasteland where none have survived. Lynx comes from a planet where females are honorable and could never refuse the word of the Goddess. But she would rather do anything else than find out who her soul is tied to and leave the one she has already fallen for, Seren. They both plan to run away until her mother forces her to meet with the Goddess of Beginnings and find her mate. She finds out she is tied to a male named Scorpius on the planet Ocura, which is said to be one of the most dangerous planets to inhabit. Will Lynx be able to fight the word of the Goddess and be with her true love? Will the magic that ties them be too strong and change her feelings completely? Or will fate take over and give her the life she fears most of all, a life wed and mated to Scorpius? *Book One*

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.

Age of Decimus: The Division by GoldenLiah

Summary: There are many unanswered mysteries on the "planet" of Ganymede, especially for the people who took refuge on this icy moon. No one questions the supreme leader's way of keeping harmony and order, everyone except for Ina Andromeda. It was never Ina's intention to tear down The Society, but when she is forced to divide into the Capitol and leave her sick mother behind, like many others, her spirit cannot stand for it, and in the process, she falls in love. BLIP: The dry air made it difficult to take in a breath and I had a dire need to grip and dig my nails into my thighs as the aura of Ernesh brought chills up my arms; I could not see him, but it was evident he wasn't far from reach. "The longer you stand there in silence, little lyōbo, the more you irk me," his gruff voice called out behind the forcefield as it trickled down to his feet, the pixelated particles vanishing before my eyes like icicles. Once the veil was removed, a tall young man with dark eyes and silver hair, almost too pretty to be seen as evil, stared at me with a cold glare of hatred and curiosity; he was not at all what I had expected.
