Because My Mom Said So (Worlds of the PACT)

Ismat‘s dating life is terrible, and a lot of it has to do with honesty. Not that he doesn‘t want to be honest, he just can‘t - or it will ruin his life. He can‘t tell anyone he works for the Dominion Security Bureau counter-terrorism division; he can‘t tell his date who his father is, even if he knows them, and he most definitely can‘t tell them how he actually feels about the gender he has to wear. A possible security breach in the Bureau means that he and his immediate boss are the only people who can be trusted with a case. Things rapidly become more complicated as the Bureau‘s Director pulls two foreign agents into the mix. More complicated than others because Ismat finds one of them very attractive, something which he would rather the agent not know. Unfortunately - she‘s telepathic. When the investigation leads them to a women-only charity event, Ismat finds some use for the dresses kept in the back of the closet and finds out that having a partner who knows what you think is not such a bad thing. A stand-alone book set in the Worlds of the PACT universe.
