The Reflective — Tamara Rose Blodgett

When parallel worlds gain technological advance at a rate which exceeds their morality, an inter-dimensional police force, manned by Reflectives, step in to balance the precarious scale of the worlds. Those born Reflective are the only beings with the ability to jump between worlds. With The Cause firmly entrenched by years of highly stylized military-type training in combat of every kind, they use their natural born ability for inter-dimensional travel to police worlds where wrongdoing has overtaken civility. As an elite Reflective, Jeb Merrick finds himself partnered with a rare female Reflective. Merrick is convinced that she can do nothing but slow him down. Beth Jasper is small, in both stature and mindset. It is too dangerous for females to traverse the worlds; they could be killed... or worse. When they are thrust together as partners, Merrick vows that she will receive the same neutral treatment as a male. He is on a mission: to find his prophesied soulmate. Merrick cannot allow the unlikely union of Beth Jasper to get in the way of that objective. Beth trains as a half-breed female while in constant ridicule from a force that is male-dominated. She must fight for every ounce of respect. When she finds out that she must partner with the cockiest of all the pureblood Reflectives, Beth struggles to maintain her composure with a hostile partner whose loyalty she doesn't possess. Can the Reflectives uphold The Cause, reach a point of compromise and find their chosen soulmates?
