SUNSHINE ON THE
ICEWOLF by Colleen Drippe. Young Helen Kley of El Colony, a world dominated by
women, doesn't know what to make of the two young men who suddenly come
bursting into her life, rescuing her from a humiliating kidnap attempt. That
they are offworlders, she has no doubt, that they are corporate agents of some
sort, she suspects. Otherwise why do they withhold their names, giving her only
the number of a safe line to contact them? In the end, she becomes friends with
the one she dubs "Pro" (the other she call "Con" because of
their differing attitudes) and simply learns to think of them as her guardians.
Only when she comes of age, two years later, and is by custom given her
father's name and an invitation to visit heretofore unknown relatives on his
homeworld, does she learn the truth about her adopted guardians. In fact she
learns truth after truth as she and Pro, whose real name she finally learns,
must battle their way through one adventure after another as they seek her
missing father while avoiding his enemies. In the end, she faces not only
threats from the outside, but also the need to come to terms with her own
values and background -- to choose and to choose rightly. Everything she has
learned to care about depends on her choice -- her own happiness and the
welfare of those who have become dear to her. Just released, this is available
from Amazon for $12.48, at https://www.amazon.com/Sunrise-Icewolf-Colleen-Drippe/dp/1542658683/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1488325217&sr=1-1&keywords=colleen+drippe
