It's probably not what it looks like, but Lillian's been fooled before
The sound of Alek’s footsteps in the hall, heading for the living room, brought a rush of panic. Lillian hurriedly closed the message, then snarled a curse at herself for doing so. What did she have to feel guilty about? Why did she feel she’d done something wrong when Alek…when he…
Bastard.
He stepped into the room, his hair damp, freshly scrubbed face shining. He stopped short when he saw her at his computer. “Hey. What are you…no, let me guess. Did you lose the security clearances file?”
She stood up. She pointed at his computer, trying to steady her shaking hand. “What is going on between you and Phoebe?”
Alek’s smile froze. Guilt made it vanish. The shame on his face exposed all she needed to know.
She’d been duped. Again.

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.
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.
