I could tell stories, but you probably don't want to hear about how my mom won't get rid of any of her spatulas despite the fact that she has more than three dozen or that she refuses to part with six sequin kits from the 1970s because she might decide to sew them on her clothes some day. :-) Then there's my dad who actually is getting rid of stuff...when I was able to get him to work on his papers. He'd only make it about an hour before he'd think of something else to do and ping out of the room. It's funny now, but not so much when I'm actually up there.

It's a good thing I don't have room in my house otherwise I think I'd have boxes of their stuff piled everywhere right now. As it stands, I always end up with more things than I wanted, but it gets it out of their house and I'm better about purging.

But enough of that. It's bad enough that I tell these stories to my poor coworkers. On with the newsletter, right?

For years, UCE Captain Cai Randolph has had one goal: Find her missing parents and bring them home. She thinks she's finally located them, but if she's right, they're on the Raft Cities, one of the most lawless and dangerous places on Earth. She searches for a reason for the army to send her, her partner, and his team there and discovers the UCE's most wanted fugitive-Banzai Maguire-is hiding on the floating cities.   

Special Forces Captain Jake Tucker is furious when he learns Cai is a woman and not artificial intelligence. There's no chance he's taking her with his team on a mission to the Raft Cities, but when he realizes she's facing multiple threats, he has no choice. No one else will protect her the way he will. But getting her away from the UCE increases her risk and pretending to be lovers complicates everything because it isn't long before Jake wants Cai to be his for real.
