  It’s 2019. There’s been another world war. Space travel is now a thing. 
  Dr. Elise Marquette has been hired by an organization that aims to conduct first contact missions for corporate clients. With her experience in archaeology fieldwork, identifying the dead during the last war, and her ability to understand and adapt to any culture, she’s an understated asset to humanity’s desire to explore the cosmos via the newly discovered portal, the Main Gate. 
  But experience comes with a price. 
  What makes Elise an asset, also makes her a risk. Five years isn’t enough time to recover and heal the trauma she endured during the war. The recent death of her overbearing mother brings Elise head-to-head with a lifetime of unresolved childhood traumas as she’s conducting Earth’s initial first contact mission. 
  Will Elise’s past put the Earth’s future at risk?

  Well, almost everyone. 
   
   
   
  Charlie English is selfish, flaky, and the sexiest man she's ever known. And he makes her absolutely stupid. Early on in her employment at Craft, Ada made the mistake of sleeping with him. She knew it wasn't going to go anywhere. Charlie wasn't the kind of guy who knew how to settle down. Or think about anyone besides himself. So why had she done it? And why would she still do it now? Years later? 
   
   
   
  Ada has promised herself she'll never make that mistake again. She's promised herself she'll put Charlie in the past where he belongs and move on with her life. 
   
   
   
  But the thing about promises is . . . they're meant to be broken.
