Summary:
Having grown up inside the National Training Space Station, Hazel would love nothing more than to finally get out of it. Her one way to escape is by sending hidden features into the world through gadgets she has created. Testing and inventing is what she lives for, but when several test products go wrong at the same time, Hazel finds herself looking at legal backlash right before she’s supposed to launch into space! There are sonic blasting androids, a missing scanner, and a missing arm. Through other people’s cryptic meddling, she finds support from the most unlikely man whose universe and life goals are vastly different from her own.
Travis is determined to come in first on the snatcher trials by collecting the eggs with the best time. He should have had an intelligent partner long ago, but he’s down to the line and desperate. When the schedule coordinator and the head of special forces push a new partner at him, he’s not prepared for the result. It’s going to take all his focus to keep his new partner around since she is tied up in illegal schemes that could see her dead. There’s a lack of support from her own family, a secret hybrid animal, look-a-like imposters, money theft, and a space station that would see her locked up for life. Despite his promise to himself, Travis starts falling in love with his new partner, which makes losing her that much harder when the hidden problems come into the light.
