My Witchy Wives
Also a why-choose found-family with slow-burn bonds and a world-ending war, though the heat stays mild and the setting is magical rather than spacefaring.
STAR JUSTICE: EYE OF THE TIGER
Same author's brutal space-opera action with a bonded protector and found crew, but leaner on the multi-partner romance and a bit less explicit.
Zeta Hack
Earlier Persephone adventure with the same crew and Elaka Nota threat; heavier on heist-thriller plotting, lighter on romance payoff.
The Siren
Keeps the slow-burn and chosen-family bonds in a doomed-duty premise, but it's soft YA fantasy with almost no heat or gore.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Shares the found-family warmth and slow-burn devotion, only in a sweet contemporary high-school setting with no violence or spice.
Misfit
Another misfit-crew, found-family slow burn with a hacker lead, but grounded prep-school drama instead of galactic stakes and no harem.
