Spaced Out

For NASA astronaut, Nicola Peake, this isn’t just a line on her t-shirt. Having survived a freak accident onboard the International Space Station, beating injury and saving her career is now her only goal. Houston is too familiar, too painful. When a close friend offers her to stay at her cabin in the mountains of New Mexico, Nic jumps at the opportunity.
In a neighboring house, Tayen Stoney is also working on putting back the pieces of her life. Separated from her husband following a miscarriage, and definitely at odds with her mother, Tayen is on a quest for self-acceptance and transformation.
She doesn’t know the woman next door. She’s not a SpaceX junkie. Not gay, either! As for Nic, why would she be interested in a straight woman? All she yearns for is a spartan summer, focused on training. Nothing can happen between the two women.
Nothing will… Right?
