Petrichor Blooms - Mindi Briar - Bog

The hardiest love blooms in the rockiest soil.

Danya Xiang would rather dig potatoes than wield a blaster. Raised as a member of the Greenjacket rebel organization, she's content to stay away from military glory and spend her days in food production-until her soldier twin, Nox, is injured right before a mission. Nox begs Danya to take her place, hoping to use their secret telepathic link to spy through Danya's eyes.

Reluctantly, Danya agrees. But her loyalty to the Greenjackets is stretched to its limits when she's asked to capture university student Amy Ediya, whose mother's valuable genetics research has been missing for a decade. The Greenjackets are convinced that Amy has it hidden.

Danya realizes that, while Amy may not have the research, she's the only one who can find it. The two of them desert the Greenjacket army and Amy's university studies to embark on a quest for Amy's estranged family. As trust grows between them, attraction blooms, too. But that only means they have more to lose when the search draws them into danger.
