Ok I just read DAMIA - book 2 in the Tower and Hive series by Anne McCaffrey. This is a re-read for me. I first read this series way back in the 1990s and really enjoyed it. The only reason I did not read Book 1 (Rowan) is because it is not currently available as an e-book at the Kobo Bookstore.
The Rowan is the Callisto Prime. She has the talent of Telekinesis and Teleportation. As such she has been trained to "Sling" goods around the federation of Nine Planets to help the economy. Each of the Nine planets has their own talented Prime, and Rowan is the 2nd strongest Prime of all. The strongest Prime is the Earth Prime, and he directs or "manages" and trains all the other primes.
Being a Prime can be a very lonely job, and the person you want to mate with has to have a sufficiently high level of talent in order to "blend" or bond with the Prime's talent.
The Rowan has met 2 such men. One called Afra Lyon and the other called Jeff Raven. Rowan eventually marries Jeff Raven and they have 4 children, one of whom is a feisty daughter named Damia.
While Afra was originally in love with the Rowan, he does eventually end up falling in love with young Damia instead. And yes there is a 24 year gap between them. But since Damia is almost as strong as her mother in the Talent department, she also requires a high level talented mate and really, the only one left is Afra!!
This was a great story. All about Damia as a child growing up, learning how to use her talent, and then the number of times she is impetuous and gets herself into trouble.
It is not until Damia faces an alien enemy that she understands just how much Afra really means to her and they are finally able to get together as a bonded couple.
