Priest and Pariahs - Centauri Survivors Second Chance Chronicles, #3

Costa McQuillen has escaped from Earth, where being para-human-a Pariah-with tech empathic abilities is illegal, and marks him for extermination. Arrogant and standoffish, Costa is unable to trust anyone but is willing to risk everyone's safety in his desperate effort to reach the planet Omoikane. His best solution, gaining passage on board the Santa Claus. Arbor Kittering is the crew's newest coding tech.
Having spent a short time in prison for data hacking and falsifying government files, the Santa Claus is his last chance at a new start-if he can decipher the strange malfunctions plaguing the ship. Eugene "Priest" Jones, the Santa Claus's Head Pilot, is a bit of a scoundrel. Perpetually single, Priest is attracted to Costa and Arbor. In truth, he'd like to have both, but it's clear even his grifting and gambling skills can't make that happen.
Now as they all travel together, it appears Priest needs to make a choice before it's too late as each of their lives intertwine with potentially dangerous and deadly consequences.
