"Between Two Graves: Book 4 of Combined Operations" by Dorothy Grant

https://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Graves-Combined-Operations/dp/B0BB5S5FPQ/

Book number four of a four book science fiction tactical romance series.
I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade
paperback self published by the author in 2022 that I bought on Amazon
in 2026.

On a far off colony world far in the distant future, the Federation and
the Imperium are fighting clandestine battles in and around many of
their client states. The usual problem is resources and land snatching.
The terraforming of the planet 600 years before was never completed
and people are needing more and more resources such as hydrocarbons and
food.

AJ's mother has passed away in the far northern reaches of the Empire
where AJ grew up. AJ and Jenna, now married, are ordered by their
Empire Intelligence boss to attend the funeral even though AJ and his
family have been estranged for over thirty years.

The story is very fast paced and the characters are extremely likable.
The history of the colony world and the various political entities is
not explained very well but that was not necessary for the story to be good.

The author's husband has a very active website where he promotes his
books and her books at:
