Siofra's Tale: a short sci fi romance

Tavarius McNally, the Irish grandson and genetic replica of an interstellar shipping magnate meets the woman his genetic donor once loved on a distant planet. He discovers much more than Síofra's name has changed since she and her husband, a retired planetary engineer, revived the planet Nèamh for accelerated terraforming decades ago. Despite her husband's hatred and unwanted orders from Tavarius's sadistic father, the alien female whose new name means "changeling child" and the young man raised on ancestral fairy tales begin to fall in love. But Tavarius must first save her from whatever his father's men have planned before he and the lovely Síofra can finally have their second chance.
