The Space Between: BtF Origins: Book Two

Dark paranormal romance. A heroine seven years under contract, a rule to hide a bloody secret, and visitors who crossed twenty light years to prove it. The Stenton Foundation owns my calendar, my path, and my face on a bottle. Seven years in. I still play for them. I still keep a continent between me and a chemist named Justin Davis. Because of the damn rule. Letters, thoughts, wants are in a shoebox. A closed box on a high shelf. Then a ship lands in the Utah desert. Human beings who left before the ice, back after twenty light years. They have come to break the silence. Reconnect to their origins. They bind. Safely. For ten thousand years. Our rules, our cold pillows, our pain on the shelf were never laws of nature. We did it to ourselves. Their Judge wants an oath from me before the planet. The Foundation wants its contract. A chemist a thousand miles off has the rest of the answer. The key to understanding how our world is poisoned, with stone eggs bending minds and hearts towards destruction. But at what cost. Generations suffered in the darkness. I am done playing ancient games. The box is coming off the shelf. Now I Judge what it costs.
