For the Honor of the Agency. The Honor Trilogy, #1

Newly appointed to the Cross-Temporal Empire's Department of Agriculture and Food, Margaret Peric quickly discovers her role is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. When an ex-employee is nearly killed trying to expose a genetically engineered crop blight, Margaret and her bodyguard, Jade Carvello, uncover a trail of eco-terrorism, corruption-and something far more sinister. While Margaret faces bureaucratic sabotage and growing political unrest, Jade's own investigation leads her into the orbit of Carlos Babineaux-a charming anarchist with a secret agenda and a dangerously kissable French accent.
Their relationship threatens both Jade's mission and her loyalty to the powerful Rucker's Agency. As conspiracies unravel across alternate Earths, and a child's life hangs in the balance, Margaret must defy her own government to protect those she loves, and somehow must track down her missing sister for her mother.. Meanwhile, Jade and Carlos risk everything on a river journey through hostile territory, where betrayal could come from either side.
Full of action, romance, and political intrigue, For the Honor of the Agency is a thrilling tale of loyalty, love, and survival in a richly imagined multiverse where every choice can shift the fate of empires.
