She's like a hacker leveled all the way up. This ability comes at a steep price, however. She deals with what is essentially chronic pain, her nanobots don't heal her as well anymore, and she's lost a huge amount of weight due to incapacitating nausea. Basically massive migraines and oh girl, I feel you. Yet Bianca is also that woman who knows how to use social graces and relationships to gather information. She appears weak when it's to her advantage, but also escapes her father's order of house arrest, steals a ship, and travels the 'verse to buy intel and save her kidnapped brother. SHE IS EVERYTHING. Her love interest, Security Director Ian Bishop, is also pretty great, but he's there in a supporting role. He never tries to fix Bianca, he's just there to help her out while also glowering at her for making him chase her around the 'verse instead of doing his job. He's been pining for her for YEARS and there's a lot of tension and a delicious slow burn. I cannot recommend this series, and particularly this book, enough.

"Jessie Mihalik is an author to watch."--Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author To save her brother and protect her family's future, a powerful princess must join forces with a dashing man from her past in this thrilling space adventure, the second novel in the Consortium Rebellion trilogy. As the dutiful daughter of High House von Hasenberg, Bianca set aside her personal feelings and agreed to a political match arranged by her family, only to end up trapped in a loveless, miserable marriage. When her husband unexpectedly dies, Bianca vows never to wed again. Newly independent, she secretly uses her wealth and influence to save other women stuck in dire circumstances. Information is power and Bianca has a network of allies and spies that would be the envy of the 'verse--if anyone knew about it. When her family's House is mysteriously attacked, Bianca's oldest brother, the heir to House von Hasenberg, disappears. Fearful for her brother's life, the headstrong Bianca defies her father and leaves Earth to save him. Ian Bishop, the director of House von Hasenberg security--and Bianca's first love--is ordered to find and retrieve the rebellious woman. Ian is the last man Bianca wants to see. To evade capture, she leads him on a merry chase across the universe. But when their paths finally collide, she knows she must persuade him to help her. Bianca will do anything to save her sibling, even if it means spending time alone on a small ship with the handsome, infuriating man who once broke her heart. As the search takes them deep into rival House Rockhurst territory, Bianca must decide if she can trust Ian with the one piece of information that could destroy her completely . . .

Though not the worst (looking at you Silva Syndicate).
This picks up a bit of time after Loch & Ada's adventures in POLARIS RISING. While they're off being happily banished to APD Zero, Bianca has been trying to track down what the heck is going on with the Rockhursts.
There's a minor mystery here, about who was targeting the House and why, but largely the focus is on the hell Bianca endured at her atrocious husband's hands.
I loved Bianca in PR; favorite character hands down. She came in with her sly cutting words, killer heels and no nonsense attitude and it was love. And friends, she brings that same energy here and I loved her here as well. (
