Rhea Florakis is a detective in the Magical Crimes Unit of the Neon City, a futuristic landscape where witches try to evade their taxes with counterfeit coins, and Madams run brothels full of high tech sex bots. When Rhea finds out that the notorious Tonya Byrd (A.K.A. Mrs. Nobody) is about to be released from prison, she springs into action. Tonya Byrd already evaded Rhea once -- but there are still two weeks left before an old statute of limitations runs out, and Rhea wants to find Tonya before anyone else does.<br><br>Meanwhile, Tonya Byrd only has three things on her mind when she steps out of prison: food, sex, and a yet to be named "good stuff" that will keep her satisfied all night long. When she is apprehended by Rhea and her bumbling partner, Murphy, she realizes she must put her own freedom on hold and complete one last mission. With some fancy new VR tech to help her out, the next job -- defeating an underground shipment of human cargo -- should be easy.<br><br>It is, of course, much harder than both Tonya and Rhea ever imagined. When the smoke clears, will they be able to put to mend their seven years apart? Or will the stray kiss they get in a heated chase be all they can ever have together?

Self-Care in Space
Updated at Nov 23, 2021, 20:14
Roland Ruiz isn't very good at taking time for himself. When he loses a big intergalactic trafficking case at his legal firm, his boss tells him to take the Vacation Station travel liner and visit the vacation moons of Jupiter. What should be fun ends up feeling more like exile, especially as Roland is left unimpressed by the first moon he visits and is snubbed by the locals. Everything changes when a beautiful scientist working on Io shows him the dynamic chemicals that go into synthetic snow, which keeps the vacation ski lodge up and running in the most drastic of space climates.<br><br>Martha Carpenter has been working hard her entire life and with very little credit. It's only when her ex wins a prestigious grant, however, that she begins to feel resentment creep into her daily life of making weather conditions for some of the Jupiter’s vacation moons. In an effort to stay positive, she turns to her old routine of self-care, and soon meets trans man and disgraced lawyer Roland, who could benefit from her many lessons.<br><br>As Roland and Martha grow closer, she must decide if being invisible in the workplace is worth the cost to her self-esteem, while Roland must reconcile his failure with his hopeful future. Together they both realize it is far better to be recognized by one person than to be rewarded by many, and that recovery is just as thrilling as discovery.

Ashleigh Wilson has been fighting for animal rights since she graduated from university with a degree in Environmental Science. Between rallies, protests, and dumpster diving, she's found a place for herself with The Green Criminals, a small but tight group of eco-warriors determined to put an end to environmental destruction and save many animals in the process. It also helps that the main leader of the group, a stunning and ever-so disciplined man named Ezra Monsoon, makes all her eco-efforts and flirtation over veggie burgers worthwhile.<br><br>When Ezra is captured after a protest goes wrong, Ashleigh vows that she will get him out. What should be an easy process of bailing Ezra out of the local jail goes awry when police inform her that it is the holiday weekend. Even with bail money, Ezra cannot be processed until Monday. And as Ezra tells Ashleigh in a one-on-one moment between the bars, Monday will be too late. When the full moon rises that night, Ezra’s decade long secret that he is a werewolf will be blown -- unless Ashleigh can follow his very specific instructions and break him out in a matter of hours.<br><br>Luckily, Ashleigh is ready for the chance to prove her merits in this new supernatural underworld, and protect Ezra in whatever way she can. She just hopes, that once the moon is no longer full, he comes back to her -- and only her -- so they can make up for all the time they've lost, not knowing one another as fully as they could.
