Noemi and Abel are separated by the universe and she tries to find a place again among Genesis’ protectors, even though no one trusts her, and Abel is always staying one step ahead of Burton Mansfield’s forces who are trying to capture him.  When Earth unleashes Cobweb on Genesis, Noemi is the only one immune, so she is sent to tender Genesis’ surrender – instead, Mansfield kidnaps her as bait for Abel.

You have to have read Defy the Stars in order to fully appreciate this next one.  It’s a bit more complicated, but the danger is as palpable.  The ending a bit obviously leads to a sequel, but I certainly don’t mind another!
