Summary
“Alicent this is—” Harrold starts to introduce but the woman is already standing up, reaching out a hand to shake Alicent’s.
“Special Agent Rhaenyra Targaryen,” the woman—Rhaenyra, what a ridiculous name—introduces. Her hand hovers in the air between them, the stale air of the office coming to a standstill. The only movement is the snow falling softly over the New Haven headquarters. Alicent hates December. Though, the sticky heat of summer is an enemy to her now as the build of sweat on the nape of her neck now only reminds her of one thing—one night. Images flicker in her mind—angel wings made of flesh, words penned in blood. She shudders.
Special Agent Alicent Hightower is trying to catch a serial killer. When her previous partner is killed in the hunt, she finds herself stuck with one Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
Alicent Hightower, DVM, has a life that many dream of at 32 years-old. She runs a veterinary clinic in rural Southern Illinois, has plenty of friends that she only ever sees at work, and a steady boyfriend who is wildly in love with her. Alicent, however, is married to her job, and finds very little time for anything else. Her boyfriend wants them to move in together, and her friends keep telling her to get a life outside of work, but she can only run from her problems for so long.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the current top female rodeo athlete in the country, and has been competing against the pressure of upholding her father’s legacy as the greatest American Bull Rider for most of her life. Rodeo is the one thing that can quiet her mind. When the only thing in the world is her body and the bull beneath it, Rhaenyra can feel eight seconds of total freedom. But with pressure mounting for the upcoming season, she's desperate for a distraction.

Summary
It was entirely unfair, Alicent thought, that on this day (a day where she was hungover, had no make-up on, was sweating to the point that she could feel it beading on her temple and upper lip, and her shirt was sticking everywhere) she would come face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman she had ever seen.
“Hi,” the object of Alicent’s frustration said amiably, standing behind the till in the Student Union’s coffee shop. “How are you?”
In which Alicent Hightower drinks coffee, makes small talk, and really, really fancies her favourite barista.
