Red Sky at Night (Home in the stars, #0.5)

For a man obsessed with flying away, Arden Badu spent a lot of time on the ground. He’s just returned from flight training, to find his sister up to her ears in love with a useless rich boy from a dangerous family, his mind, still filled with their neighbor, Brinn, and times on Taarken aren’t getting any easier. Now, he’s got an assignment on a mining ship that’s a bit out of the ordinary, and he’s working hard to win the woman of his dreams. It seems Brinn could become more important than anything, even flying, if he can just convince her to believe in him.
