Book Description
Doctor Megan Chung is heading to the International Space Station as an astronaut with an important mission—to study the mechanics and proper procedures for sex in space. The research is vital for long-range missions and the establishment of remote colonies, but her project is put in jeopardy when her research partner is disqualified for flight days before launch. Stranded alone in space, Megan strives to carry on independently until Mission Control expresses its disappointment in her lack of results. Bad boy astronaut, Commander Aaron Bridges, volunteers to help her complete her... studies, but their efforts have surprising results that might send them both into orbit.
Chapter One
Megan sat at the table in the conference room, her knee bouncing up and down beneath it. Three days. It was almost here. After all the years of hard work and study, she could hardly believe that she was about to achieve a life-long goal. She stared at the famous logo on the wall. In three days, she’d be blasting off into space. She was going to the International Space Station for the next three months as an astronaut.
The flight director walked into the room, and she forced her leg to stop its nervous motion. Excitement or not, there was still work to do.
Heads up, everyone,
the director called. I have news that affects our mission.
Chatter in the room stilled. They’d been prepping for this for months. In some cases, years. Any change at this point would be significant.
I’m sorry to inform you that Flight Engineer Zylstra had an emergency appendectomy early this morning. He’s expected to make a full recovery but won’t be medically cleared in time for launch.
Megan inhaled reflexively, the ball of air forming a sharp pain in her throat. What? But... no. Zylstra was key for the experiments she was scheduled to run.
Science Officer Ramirez will be replacing Zylstra. As you’re aware, she’s been training with all of you as a contingency for a situation such as this.
Ramirez. Fully qualified, but female. That wouldn’t work... at least not in Megan’s case. Her brain started racing. This change wasn’t just significant for her; it was catastrophic for her study.
Zylstra’s responsibilities should be fully covered for those experiments in which he was the designated lead, but we need to discuss any additional work he was expected to perform.
Heat crept up from the knot in Megan’s throat until her whole face was suffused. After all this time, she shouldn’t be embarrassed. She’d submitted the proposal for the mission, and she was a doctor for heaven’s sake. But Zylstra’s performance was precisely what she needed—and everyone knew it. As medically significant as
