    Summary

    Eva Stratt, twenty-two. Law student. Incredibly busy, emotionally unavailable, trying to carve a satisfactory life for herself, no matter what it takes. Averse to commitment.

    Ryland Grace, twenty-four. Private estate manager with a degree in Astrobiology. In deep denial about his dissatisfaction with the life he's living. Wants something more.

    What they have isn’t anything. It can’t be. But it’s certainly not nothing.

    Summary

    After the karaoke scene, Grace follows Stratt out onto the deck and, under the cover of fading sunlight, they're granted a momentary illusion of normalcy. Conversations are had, light-hearted banter flowing more easily than it would in broad daylight. Then the evening culminates in a slow dance that maybe leads to something more...

    Summary

    It was easy to command the Petrova Taskforce, that small world Eva Stratt had curated, and yet the wider world still needed to be accommodated, placated, until the work was done. Public perception was an important aspect of the project at large. Hers was waning, unless the press could speculate instead about her personal life rather than the world-ending choices in her hands. Attending an arts and culture gala was the least inconvenient option she'd been presented with.

    The boundaries of her selfishness were shaped by what she allowed herself to ask of Ryland Grace. As long as what they had helped her do her job— and it did, he did, she could not deny it— she could pretend, she could avoid admitting that this undefined thing meant something more than she'd intended.

    Her responsibility to the world had a penchant for forcing her hand.

    Summary

    Sometimes you need a little bit of a surprise addition to your team of scientists, government officials and military commanders, that is somehow going to save the world and sometimes, that addition is going to be a man, the rest of the country wants to see dead. That really isn't Eva's problem, even if Ryland seems to be determined to make it hers, be that knowingly or not. As time goes on, she realizes, that she'll have to find a way to handle him, before he endangers the whole mission on his quest for recognition and getting his next fix.

    (starts just as the ArcLight probe returns the Astrophage sample to earth)
