Fire Healer: Mara's Story: Peacekeepers, #2

In our future when humans have settled beyond the Solar System in the nearby Gwana System... Mara should be dead, blasted to bits by an alien laser.Peacekeeper, medic, empath. Mara is grounded, ending her days flying with the Sunstar 3 almost before they began. As if that isn't enough, the "Kudzu" invade and ravage her world with their super-alien tech. She does what any faithful Peacekeeper would: focus anger and grief on her work as an Empath Medic. During an evacuation, she's overwhelmed by a laser blast, and life gets interesting. She wakes to find herself in one piece but a captive of Romae, masked Prince of the legendary Isle of Xse. Romae is desperate for her healing skills and claims her as his wife. Handsome Tor is her assistant, her friend. She senses attraction, the possibility of love. Mara's goal is to charm Tor and escape, not realizing her connection to Romae is what Gwana System needs to survive.
