The Glitter of Gold (inspired by Rumpelstiltskin) - Gwynn Flaxenhart always wanted more for herself than the life of an algae farmer. Dreaming of gaining renown as a scientist by creating one of the most valuable power sources in the galaxy, she spends her life in a science lab. But when Gwynn’s father locks the family into a contract that could cost Gwynn everything, she makes a desperate deal with a mysterious stranger, not knowing that she has set off a chain of events that could lead to the death of millions. When Gwynn discovers the terrible truth of what she has done, she must turn to Aderyn Ryder, the cousin and corporate spy who once betrayed her, for help. With time running out, and everyone around them suspect, the two women must find a way to work together, risking life and love, in order to take down the evil mastermind behind it all.
