Perfect for fans of f/f romance and feel-good sci-fi, this cozy space opera follows two women whose lives change after they meet in one of the most notorious places in the galaxy.

After living only on planets, including the desolate war-torn world of her youth, Dr. Cori Nova is eager to begin a new life and career in space. Victory Station doesn’t have the best reputation, but she couldn’t be more excited to be there. On her first shift at the clinic, she meets Aster, a well-traveled woman with fascinating tattoos … who quickly turns out to be Cori’s most frequently injured patient.

Spaceborn and adventurous, Aster Moss has been station-hopping for years, until she got stuck with a colossal load of debt. She’s working it off by engaging in one of the most dangerous (and taboo) occupations in the galaxy, so she needs to be patched up pretty often. Stuck on dull, grimy Victory, Aster’s appointments with Dr. Nova become the single bright spot in her life.

But the friendly doctor has a much more complicated past than Aster realizes, and in each other, they’ll discover a powerful connection like neither has ever known—and a love worth fighting for.

From debut author Alicia Haberski, Where Starlight Burns offers an indulgent sci-fi adventure with a tender heart.
