Entanglement

Two hundred years ago, the captain of a plague-ravaged spaceship set course for deep space. Elliot Stoll, an ambitious pilot, with a ship equipped with a hyperspace Tangle drive, is assigned to secure the derelict Iredoi, only to find salvager Kass Tyczkowski has reached it first. Arguments about authority and legitimate salvage are interrupted by an attack by rival salvagers, which ends with Kass rescuing Elliot from his destroyed ship, and jumping away with the Iredoi in tow, back to his home base -- the Tumble. Elliot soon learns he's landed in the middle of a family feud, but now the stakes are higher than the salvage value of an old derelict. A flotilla of pirate ships is heading for the Tumble to snatch the Iredoi, and whatever secrets it holds about the deadly virus that wiped out its crew. Kass's mother Dominika, the boss of the salvage company and the station, assigns Kass to guard Elliot, telling him if he's going to bring strays home, he has to take care of them. Even if it means the stray has to sleep in his quarters. Despite the stark differences between the button-down and disciplined Elliot and the scofflaw, hedonistic Kass, they make a good team as they prepare for a battle, explore the derelict Iredoi, and then give in to the intense attraction they've come to feel for each other. After exploring the Iredoi, Elliot becomes determined to destroy it to keep it from being taken by the pirates. But Kass has his orders too, and Elliot knows his work is cut out for him if he wants to persuade Kass to defy his mother and help Elliot to do the right thing.
