Hi! As you might have guessed I am desperately searching for a book I once read. It was a YA or New Adult Sci Fi Fantasy Romance book. In the following description of the plot there will be some spoilers!!!!! The main character is the daughter of an extremely powerful but cruel emperor of the galaxy (the plot takes place in space). I think he killed her mother but I am not entirely sure. She also grew up in an orphanage later on and is trying to steal vaccines and medicine to help support this orphanage. In the beginning of the Book she had to flee and she flys through some kind of worm hole with her space ship and ends up on another planet where she has to make an emergency landing and repair her ship. There she meets a guy she is interested in and helps her repair the ship but who turns out to be a bounty hunter an she has to make an escape. She ends up at the orphanage and there is some huge fight in the end and the bounty hunter decides to put her well being first and together they enter rebel territory. Ah yes and somewhere along the way there also was a lady with a ton of cats which resulted in the main character getting a new pet!
So... I know that’s all pretty vage and on top of that my command of the English language is rather bad. Still, I‘d be greaful for any help I can get! I also hope I didn’t make any mistakes when filling in this folder - if so I am sorry!

Anna, around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

How old is the heroine?

[Anna]

Hi, sorry I didn’t include that at first because I wasn’t sure but I guess the heroine was somewhere between 20 and 30 and I read the book about one and a half years ago but I feel like it was released a few years earlier than that!

[Kris]

No worries. Thanks for letting us know which plot points you feel certain about. All clues are helpful.

Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet seems to match your description.
