Romantic Comedy

NASA safety specialist Kaley Parker embraces protocol. Systematic rules and regulations keep astronauts on Earth and in space out of harm’s way. They also safeguard her own heart.

That is, until a co-worker makes an excellent case for spontaneity with an after-hours kiss.

Systems engineer Evan Mitchell loves thinking outside of the box. His creative approach helps him analyze, evaluate, and build NASA’s next wave of space exploration technology.

Too bad it fails to help him figure out why a certain safety specialist is ghosting him after their impromptu make-out session.

Between Kaley’s on-going risk assessment and helping Evan out of an unstable situation due to his original approach, Kaley figures her strict adherence for standard procedures is well founded.

Especially when she’s left publicly exposing more than just her feelings at NASA’s Youth at Work festival.

Workplace Romance

The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office.
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.
Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.
Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.
I was swindled out of ten grand.
The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.

Grace Bradley went to work at Riverton House as a servant when she was just a girl, before the First World War. For years her life was inextricably tied up with the Hartford family, most particularly the two daughters, Hannah and Emmeline.

In the summer of 1924, at a glittering society party held at the house, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were Hannah and Emmeline and only they—and Grace—know the truth.

In 1999, when Grace is ninety-eight years old and living out her last days in a nursing home, she is visited by a young director who is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace back to Riverton House and reawakens her memories. Told in flashback, this is the story of Grace’s youth during the last days of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the vibrant twenties and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of life vanished forever.
