GEM: a privately-funded organization operating independently in the search for—and the rescue and recovery of—missing and exploited children. Although, at times working in conjunction with law enforcement, GEM aims to ensure the victims receive justice…by whatever means necessary. ____ Operator Pearl; layered, mysterious, a protector. She masks as delicate, analyzes, and moves stealthily. Hot on the trail of a young accomplice in a child exploitation ring, Pearl finds herself posing as a teenager to get close. Unfortunately, joining a group of kids on a wilderness quest means stepping out of her comfort zone and into uncertainty. But with the target in her sights her focus stays razor-sharp. The last thing she needs is the dogged journalist who’s been close on her heels catching up and rattling her cage. When he inserts himself into her investigation, she has no choice but to go along. Thrown together in a mutual pursuit of justice, the negative energy between them sparks up in a new way.

I love Pearl aka Janey as she has sass and independence however also feel sad as this is all due to trauma as a child and she uses it to stop people getting close to her, fortunately she has never come across someone like Lee who is use to playing the slow game and won't give up on getting to know her more and seeing were it could go.
The tension, danger and anger at the people the GEM's have to go after had me cursing at times then seeing them along with their ever growing team working together to seek justice has you rejoicing and enjoying the sparks of new beginnings and how others are going making you smile.
