Titanslayer: Gray's Ghosts: A Sci-Fi Team-building Mecha Adventure
The mercenary life killed his adoptive family. Now he has to rebuild from the ashes.
When a retrieval mission gone wrong leaves him the sole survivor, Jayden Scott Grayson is forced to step into command as a full WarMech Pilot. Returning to Terminus, the galaxy's rawest mercenary hub, he vows to rebuild from nothing, with only a wrecked WarMech, a handful of Star-bills, and the women whom he finds answering his call.
Women like Kaylie, a genius engineer with a razor-sharp tongue and a guarded heart. Valeria, a fiery rookie with a thirst to prove herself. Ashley, a veteran tactician haunted by the ghosts of her past. And Sophia, his devoted wolf-kin secretary, who remains unshakeable at his side.
But the mercenary Pilot life is no cakewalk. Megafauna hunts. City walls to hold. Rival Pilots with an axe to grind. And a shadow faction that wants back what he carried out of the ambush. Every job Jayden takes raises the stakes… and forges his legend.
The legend of the Ghost who cannot be killed.

I DNF this book after 160 pages, as it was just not very good.
The MC is a young guy (age is never clearly stated) who has been training as a mech pilot to gain his full license. The last mission he's on goes very sour, and he's the only survivor of the company. Said company must be liquidated, but before they left on the mission, his captain and lead trainer put in the paperwork for the MC to become a full fledged pilot and left him a cool million credits to help him get started. He and the secretary of the company have been eyeing each other shyly forever, and now in their grief, they start to get a little closer.
Once at a space station, they meet up with the uber-mechanic the secretary knows, who's just as hot as the secretary, and hang out for a bit. Then some petty nonsense with some high school level drama issues shows up to ruin the night, they get into a minor scrap, and then the MC and secretary have sex. Upon waking up, she tells him she's willing to share him, and obviously the mechanic is LI #2.
It was at that point I dumped out. The MC was too entranced by the women, and now he's planning to run his own mercenary company despite having just become a pilot and pretty wet behind the ears. He's basically the equivalent of an Army private that saw a little combat, and now he's going to start up a black ops mercenary outfit. So between how farfetched it felt, and how immature the MC felt, I couldn't continue.
