Synopsis:
Come back to me
…
Luke remembers a
few things. Just not his last name, or anyone he ever knew. He knows that he’s
a supersoldier, genetically enhanced and loaded up with brain implants. He just
escaped from a year-long hell of captivity, and to protect his family and friends
from his tormentors, he blocked his memories. Now he needs those memories back,
fast … or he and those he loves will die agonizing deaths.
Luke’s dangerous
plan to reconnect with his past—and stay alive in the present—has drawn his
enemies’ attention to the tough and sexy Dani LaSalle. He’s duty bound to
protect the luscious beauty from the evil pursuing them, but he can’t control
the scorching desire she awakens in him.
Dani’s strict
routine has been trashed by Luke’s explosive arrival. This rock-hard slab of
valiant, smoldering manhood appears out of nowhere, saves her life, spirits her
away to his mountain lair and bewilders her with tales of sadistic researchers,
enhanced assassins. Is this gorgeous, problematic sex god just plain crazy—or
is she? But Luke can do things with his mind that are just as wild as what he
can do with that body … and she can’t say no.
And there’s no
time to wonder. As their passion burns hotter, Obsidian moves closer ... and
Luke and Dani must place their lives and their hearts on the line just to
survive …

Goddamnit.
Trapped. In a closet. Stupid fucking bonehead move. Luke had acted
without thinking, locked in combat survival mode.
But they were surrounded, and it was the only move to make. He had
to make the best of it. Keep her from making noise. Giving his presence away.
He’d gotten inside just in time. The hostiles had showed up
moments afterwards. He’d seen four thermal heat signatures slinking around out
there. Systematic, professional, moving smoothly into position in the overgrown
foliage. No unmod would have seen or heard them. Covering every entrance.
Probably listening with modified ears, just like him.
He just hoped they weren’t scanning for thermals. He
couldn’t afford to lose the advantage of surprise, outnumbered as he was.
Now if he could just quickly, forcefully convince Dani to get down
on the other side of the dryer while he went out to deal with them …
But she wouldn’t. It wasn’t
her nature. He needed to calm her down first. Explain that she had to do
exactly what he said, this instant, if she wanted to keep breathing.
But he couldn’t get the words out. At least not without scaring
her so badly that she started screaming again.
Words wouldn’t come. All those long months of keeping silent,
refusing to speak to Mark, then Braxton. Resisting interrogation, beating and
torture.
He wanted to howl his frustration, but that wouldn’t help. Her
heart was galloping. Stripes of yellow light from the kitchen sliced
through the slats in the door and across her eyes. They were wide and
brilliant, glittering with angry tears.
“Hold still,” he whispered.
Her body squirmed against his, chest to thigh. She was tall and
strong. Her head came all the way up to his nose. Her lush tits pressed against
his body armor. The sensation made him want to ditch the damn vest. Feel all
those curves for real.
Some other time. He had a job to do. And she absolutely did not
deserve the shitstorm that was blowing her way.
“Dani,” he whispered. “Don’t scream.”
He meant it as an order, but it came out rough, hoarse. Pleading.
Slowly, he lifted his hand. Her mouth was slightly open. She was
panting. The pink, tender fullness of her lips made him ache down low.
A tear glittered as it flashed down over her cheek. The sight of
it hurt him inside.
“Don’t cry,” he begged, in a raw whisper. But he touched his
fingertip to the wet tear-track that gleamed on her smooth, beautiful cheek. He
wanted to taste it.
She inhaled. Luke sensed the ear-splitting scream that was forming
in her mind, and did the only thing he could think of to head it off.
He kissed her.
