Kayne by Mira Maxwell

Kayne vows to never return to his home planet Gaia. Haunted by memories of an interstellar war, he joins The Force to stay on the move. Jumping around the galaxy for each new mission is the only way he keeps the past at bay. Nothing slows him down, until he rescues a beautiful human from a life of slavery during an undercover mission. Sarina knows only fear and darkness since being abducted by the Lezovians. Kayne is the first bright spot in her world since she was taken from Earth, and she instantly feels safe with him.

The attraction is mutual. Kayne is determined to follow her anywhere, until she’s sent to a safe haven for recovering abductees at the one place he swore he’d never return: Gaia. Their attraction is undeniable, but will they both be able to conquer their pasts in order to have a future?
