Summary
On the road, VI can’t stop looking at Caitlyn. Her thoughts are a roaring mix of affection, guilt, curiosity, hunger. When was the last time she felt like this? Has she ever?
What is confounding Vi the most is that Caitlyn still hasn’t asked for anything, nothing concrete. Nothing, anyway, that could give Vi any guidance on how to proceed.
What does one do, when they desire someone without any other kind of strings attached? Without the need to hide away, be quick not to get caught, be rough to not be seen as weak? Is she simply allowed to take and be taken? What if it breaks her? What if it breaks both of them?***
Caitlyn is out of options- the only chance she has of avenging her mother is by partnering with Vi, the sister of her mother's killer, convicted in her place ten years prior. Together, they set out through the country on a desperate search, with the Chembarons on their tail.
Caitlyn is struggling with her grief and her guilt, Vi has to learn how to live. The road will either save them, or swallow them whole.
A roadtrip noir, a romcom, a character study. Now illustrated!- Language:

Summary
A frozen, staged body is found on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. The victim is a local woman—someone Officer Vi Lane once knew intimately.
Chief Grayson calls for help, but no one answers. Another Indigenous woman. Another local matter swept under the federal rug.
Until a second body appears. This one a British national.
Now, Grayson doesn’t have to ask. The FBI doesn’t offer help—they send it. A British liaison. No warning, no questions, no diplomacy. It just happens.
As soon as Vi lays eyes this liaison, deep inside a reptilian part of her brain, one sensation rules them all.
Danger.
And its name is Caitlyn Kiramman.

Summary
The girl said nothing back. She only raised her rifle, aiming the barrel right at Vi. Right in between her eyes. There was a fierce glint in the girl’s eyes as she squinted, ready to shoot, finger teasing the trigger.
Vi blinked, barely registering it with the twisting pain at her side.
Well, fuck.
OR, someone else pulls off the workshop heist, and vi meets a certain spirited piltie girl. this changes everything.
