Orbiting Grace

Synopsis

Mia Morgenstern does not play by the rules. As a hot-headed tinkerer within the Petrova Task Force, her unorthodox methods and raw intuition make her a brilliant problem-solver - and a constant liability. When she is paired with Dr. Ryland Grace, her chaotic spark meets his structured mind. In the shadow of extinction, an intense love ignites between them. But when Grace is forced into a desperate, one-way suicide mission to the Tau Ceti system to save humanity, Mia faces a devastating reality. He is going into cryosleep, a process that might wipe his memory of her entirely. Driven by a desperate refusal to let him die alone in the cold void, Mia makes a reckless, unauthorized decision to breach the Astrophage mission protocols. Even if he wakes up with no recollection of her name, she will be there in the dark. In the silent expanse of space, she must survive her own impulsiveness to keep them both alive.
