Second Chance Rescue by M. L. Buchman

-a Future Night Stalkers romance story- Sentient Stinger-class ship Stella leads the most effective Night Stalkers team until the night a Jovian data pirate takes out her fellow ship Jess. Her circuits enter a tailspin, made even worse when her pilot hooks up with a civilian Luna-man rather than a soldier. But when her team is sent to foil a plot against Luna and Stella downloads a coded message of her own, she dares to hope for a Second Chance Rescue.
