Most love stories end with a ring. Theirs ends with a launch.Jessa Hale has two obsessions: music that tells the truth, and plants-because green life feels like proof the world can still be gentle.

He hears Jessa once and knows what she is: rare. He offers her a door into his world-studio sessions, real mentorship, real pressure-and Jessa steps through it. Fame follows fast. So does the backlash.When a rival with money, influence, and a grudge decides Jessa is leverage, the spotlight becomes dangerous.

She writes her way out.And then Mars stops being a daydream.Selected for one of the first civilian colony missions, Jessa isn't there to play a role. She brings LatticePod-a fail-soft plant growth system designed to survive dust, power dips, and human fear-because on Mars, morale is life support and green isn't a luxury.Greenline Protocol: Life Under Two Moons is a near-future sci-fi romance that begins on Earth and culminates on Mars, blending slow-burn chemistry with action, high stakes, and the quiet stubbornness of anything alive.
