Old school futuristic romance duology
I loved these books and had them on my shelf forever and now I can’t remember anything about the author or the title. The first one was about the winner of an interstellar war. She was either a politician, or in the military and “won” a male captive who turned out to be the leader of the defeated planet. I know the second part of the book takes place on his planet after they fall in love.
The second book I remember less about because I liked it less, and the heroine was the female general best friend of the female main character from the first book and that’s almost all I remember of it.
Fingers crossed this ring, a bell for anyone!
