You Called It Estuary

Captain Vic Kohler expected the Tandem Project to be a standard assignment: new tech, a temporary partner, another line for the file. What she didn't expect was Naev, a Vamath officer with exacting standards and no patience for human charm... or the neural link that wired their minds together.

The unlikely pair learns fast that their new link allows no privacy. No thought goes unshared, no feeling stays hidden... including the ones growing between them. The institution that built the program must never find out — because leaving it would cost one of them everything.

Vic has a way out. Naev doesn't.

Falling in love was never part of the program.
