Full Speed to a Crash Landing
Beth Revis kicks off her novella trilogy with a fast, flirty space heist: Ada Lamarr, a salvage thief with a hole in her ship, talks her way onto a government vessel and into a staring contest with the man running it. Funny, claustrophobic, and built on the pleasure of two people lying at each other.
From the review
The setup is almost theatrical in how tight it is. Ada Lamarr is dying. Air running out, hull breached, alone in a suit at a wreck she got to first. A salvage crew picks her up because letting her suffocate would be bad form, and from that moment the story locks itself inside one ship with a small cast and almost nowhere to hide. Revis treats the confined setting as a feature, not a limitation. Everything happens in the galley and the corridors and at shared meals, where the real weapon is conversation.
