Releasing June 3 - Mine to Keep

 

It's the little things

He concentrated on Lillian’s tinkling giggles. Alek had never evaluated a person’s laughter before, but he found himself doing so at that instant. The sound was…adorable. Yes, that was the word. Cute. Wonderful, like everything else about her. Even drunk and crying, she shone brighter than anyone else.

I was able to make her feel better. I enjoyed that.

He’d dried her tears. Convinced her smile. On a day that had started bleak, he’d brought in the friends she’d needed to dull the pain. He’d shown her that in the midst of shattering grief, joy could still be found.

He yearned to keep making her life better. It brought profound pleasure to him to be there for her. The emotions that came from doing so made him glad he’d gotten through their darker brothers of fear and jealousy.

If he felt the brighter sentiments more often than the others, it would be worthwhile to stay as he’d become. To love…he wouldn’t mind if he could express that consistently, if he could continue to bring joy and comfort to Lillian.

I want that.

The big question was, could she learn to want it too? Could she overcome the heartache dealt in her past? Could she see him as more than a bodyguard? More than a cyborg sex partner?

He was the most hated cyborg on Earth, and love is far from his original design. But when old enemies hunt the woman he’s sworn to protect, he discovers a passion for vengeance…and her.

On Earth, he was known as the Warden, and his punishment of prisoners was legendary. Reprogrammed by the president of CyberServe as an assistant in the office…and as her chief researcher of intimate programs…PSM-426021, better known as Alek, is a flawless example of what buyers want in their repurposed cyborgs. 

CyberServe’s president Lillian Kwolek enjoys Alek on her terms: no love, no strings attached. It’s easy to keep him at a distance and guard her heart from hurt until an extremist group determined to right old wrongs targets her. Alek is loaded with a security program to keep Lillian safe, and it opens the cyborg to learning emotions. 

Alek doesn’t like these feelings, which include a confusing mix of devotion to and wariness of Lillian. She doesn’t like his developing emotions either. The new Alek, who fulfills desires and her need for safety from increasing threats, is too intoxicating a temptation for a woman who can’t trust men, whether they’re flesh or machine. 

They can’t resist each other, but past hurts threaten to destroy what they could have…and open the door to killers bent on annihilating cyborgs and Lillian.

She’s marked for death. He’s her only hope. But can a de-commissioned cyborg once programmed to kill humans be trusted with her life…or her heart?

They called him the Wall, part of a cyborg army that terrorized humans during a long war waged by those intent on wielding power. When Tosha Cameron, owner of a multi-billion corporation, first sees the deactivated cyborg, he’s a tattered remnant of a horrific past.

Most would prefer to see cyborgs destroyed, but those with vision see a valuable resource. When Tosha’s business rivals target her for assassination, the Wall—whom she renames Brick—is her best bet for protection.

Reprogrammed, Brick proves he’s more than a mere machine. Programmed to guard Tosha, he can supply her every need. He soon develops beyond his learning matrix and software, becoming capable of humanity…and more.

Dark secrets from a bloody past are waiting deep in his circuitry, however; secrets that could kill the woman he loves and has sworn to protect.
