Jess Howell hasn't slept through the night since October.
Six weeks to launch.

As Vectral's only product manager, she holds the launch together — timelines, teams, and a job posting on the careers page that's either help coming or her replacement.

Planning is easy. People are harder.

Then Tania Campbell joins the team.

Calm. Precise. Impossible to read. She told Jess to revise her own spec — to her face, in writing — then left a granola bar on her desk without a word.

Jess doesn't need someone managing her. She definitely shouldn't be lying awake at 2 a.m. thinking about Tania's hands.

But Tania keeps showing up. A midnight text that says go to sleep. A drive home when Jess can't stand up straight. Quiet, steady acts of care from a woman who once built a company from nothing — and lost it.

Six weeks to launch. A codebase held together with deadlines.

And the one dependency neither of them planned for.

Dependency Hell is a high-heat sapphic workplace romance with a guaranteed HEA. Book Three in the Merge Conflict series.
