Saving Grace — Merry Farmer

The Terra Project is over, ended in one blast that scattered a handful of survivors through deep space. Grace Hargrove and her team -- including Dr. Danny Thorne, the Project's despised geneticist, the man she loves -- find themselves stranded in the virgin landscape of a habitable moon. Two other escape pods crashed near theirs, one controlled by Brian Kutrosky, a conspirator convicted of attempting to sabotage the Project, and another led by the soldier known as Kinn, whose mission was to neutralize the threat Kutrosky presented. In order to build a viable new world, the survivors must come together, but from the moment each group discovers the identity of the others, they are at war. With every conflict, every death, their chances of long-term survival decrease. The only hope of peace for the survivors comes at a terrible price for Grace. Her life hangs in the balance between the will of the man who loves her, the power of the man who wants her, and the secrets of the man who owes his life to her. But as Grace struggles to lead her people in building a new world out of the ashes of The Terra Project, the greatest danger lies in the hidden truth she carries with her.
