Victory Winters is a world-renowned geneticist and possesses an unusual innate sense of communication, bordering on telepathic when relating to animals. She is kidnapped by Lawrence Braxton. Braxton is the madman CEO who runs Biotec, and forces Victory to pursue her research on canine DNA.
Naval officer Tristan Farraday is sent undercover to track Biotec’s experiments. These experiments involve the implantation of canine DNA into humans, thereby manipulating their genetic makeup. The goal of Biotec is to create the perfect soldier.
Murder, kidnapping, and blackmail follow as Tristan realizes Victory has been pulled into Biotec’s world against her wishes. She refuses to divulge the genetic answers Braxton demands. Victory knows Biotec wants to exploit her findings, by administering them in a destructive manner. Will Tristan rescue Victory from this madman’s grip and save her family? Can he keep her discoveries away from enemy hands?
“Tristan.” He turned to find her
right behind him. “Take this bottle with you. You can take two more pills in an
hour if you aren’t any better.” Damn, he must look as bad has he felt.
“Thanks.” He opened the bedroom
door and turned back, smiled at her and before she knew what was happening,
leaned towards her and kissed her ever so lightly on her lips. “I’ll see you
first thing in the morning. I’ll come back here and go with you to breakfast.”
He headed straight for the hall door, leaving Victory frozen at the threshold
of her bedroom. “Make sure you lock the door as soon as I leave,” he casually
tossed over his shoulder.
“I will,” she stammered.
Had
sparks flashed from their lips?
Knowing full well that a lock wouldn’t stop
Braxton or his people if they wanted to enter her room, Tristan walked out into
the hall and waited for the click of the lock. He was bewildered by the
electricity that sparked between them at the second his lips touched hers and
wondered if she had felt the same sensation. He really needed a little down
time if he was going to be any help to Victory.
