Light Years

Quatra Fleet Academy has been hit by a devastating attack from an enemy nobody can identify. In response it opens its doors to a new class of cadets drawn from every planet in the solar system, and four of them arrive with very different reasons for being there.

Vesper is a hotshot pilot who wants to be a captain. She loses her place to a wisecracking boy from the wrong side of the asteroid belt, and the loss makes her doubt what she has always believed.

Cormak lives on the toxic planet Deva and will do whatever it takes to get into the Academy, including stealing another person's identity. Arran grew up an outcast on icy Chetire and wants somewhere to belong. He does not expect to find it with the hottest guy in the galaxy.

Orelia has infiltrated the fleet on a mission that puts everyone around her at risk. If her real identity comes out, her life is forfeit.

This is science fiction set at a military boarding school in space, told through four cadets, with romance running through it. The cadets come from worlds that have taught them to hate one another, and to survive they have to find a way to work as a team. Light Years is the first book in a series.
