StarDom by Kiernan Kelly

K’yn has spent a lifetime hiding in plain sight. Aboard his pleasure ship, the EROS, he travels from planet to planet in the guise of captain while projecting a dangerous and sexy space pirate vibe. His demeanor keeps everyone at arm’s length, which is exactly where he wants them. His only concern is to keep his younger sister safe from those who might be hunting them. Privately, K’yn has a deep-seated need to dominate, discipline, and care for someone who needs his guidance, but his lifestyle leaves no room for such dalliances.

Enter Kern, an agent from TRIAL, the Trace, Rescue, Identification, and Assimilation League, the largest private peacekeeping agency in the known universe, who is sent to the EROS to eliminate a reported threat posed by K’yn to the president of the planet, Barma. Kern has a smart mouth, a body for the ages, and a quickly developing lust for a certain captain’s broad hands on his backside.

Misinformation, sabotage, and traitorous alliances lead K’yn and Kern into a race to save their own skins and an entire planet from the plotting of a powerful egomaniac.
