Summary
Dr. Goten Son: Capsule Corp's brilliant head of biological research, all easy smiles and thoughtful gestures on the surface—but with a fierce edge that sharpens when those he cares about are threatened. For decades, he's ignored the primal Saiyan pull toward Marron, settling for shared extended-family gatherings, outings, and quiet companionship while his own feelings claw beneath the surface.
Marron Chestnut: The sharp assistant keeping the Capsule empire afloat. Hiding her heart in spreadsheets and a string of failed first dates. She's crushed on the younger Son brother since forever. But now, one reckless cruise-ship hookup has wrecked it all. Now she's all but ghosting him. Sinking, drowning in guilt.
With the galaxy's biggest summit of scientists looming in two weeks- hosted by Capsule Corp of course-, Goten's last-minute pivot on his headlining project demands backup he wishes he didn't need.
Marron is thrust into the role as his partner, trapped in close quarters at his remote lab where the tension finally begins to boil over.
Can they face decades of denial, embrace the spark, and navigate the chaos ahead? Or let stubbornness pull them under?Post 'Gravity' and Pre 'Godfire', Book Two.
