Starlight and Salt Water

Nkiru Adeyemi dives wrecks for a living. The colony ship rotting in low orbit is supposed to be four months of steady work and one very big cheque.\n\nEzren Sar has spent his whole career mapping ships exactly like it, and he is the only person alive who knows its corridors the way a man knows his childhood house. He is also forty-one, insufferably precise, and has opinions about her rigging.\n\nOn day nine the orbital decay accelerates. The shuttle is gone. The comms are gone. They have six weeks of air and a life pod that fits one.\n\nHe thinks the answer is a calculation. She thinks the answer is a refusal. Sixteen minutes of air later, one of them is going to have to be right.\n\nA Sci-Fi Alien Romance and Age Gap Opposites Attract Romance about salvage, stubbornness, and the only law of the deep: nobody dives alone.
