Can she trust him with the truth?
Don't miss the debut novel from sci-fi romance author Rynn Hardesty: can Neitran trust Drew with all her secrets — before they ruin their investigation?
Coming Winter 2026!
ICICLE Case Investigator Neitran Lee has secrets, and lots of them. She’s also just fine keeping them to herself, thanks, especially when it comes to the one case that means the most to her personally. And even when Headquarters forces a partner on her just as that investigation comes to a critical moment. If she can’t work with that partner on her own terms, then she’ll just work around him.
Andrew White Fox, on temporary assignment from Deimos Police, is having none of that. He’s been partnered with Neitran Lee to get a job done, and get a job done he will. Even if it means having to battle the ICICLE investigator herself. But as the investigation deepens, Drew finds more and more secrets, some of which seem to involve Neitran herself. What, exactly, isn’t she telling him…and why?
