Releasing in One Week: Built to Last

 

A surprise for Victor...and an offer Amadis can't refuse?

“I love seeing you fall apart in my arms. It enthralls me to watch it happen. To give you such pleasure is…it’s magic.”

“Is that how you’ve reacted with all those you’ve been with?”

He jerked, stunned. “No. It’s only happened with…” he paused to consider, then blinked with renewed shock. “…just you.”

Amadis ignored a surge of elation. “You seem surprised about that.”

“I’ve wanted to belong with someone for a while. You might say, desperately. But you’re the first I’ve felt a genuine need to make happy, more for your sake than my own.” His voice had gone soft with wonder.

He wanted a relationship. More than a fling. He wished for the real thing.

Amadis’ senses rebelled against the idea. She had a stalled career to restart. She had accomplishments to achieve. She couldn’t tie herself up in an intense affair. “Victor—”

His tone was abruptly businesslike, his face a mask, as if he regretted speaking as he had. “Try this on for size. If we can escape the pirates, we’ll have a few weeks to explore your true instincts about sex. Just you and me, discovering if you really do respond best to being submissive to a dominant lover. No one besides us has to know you enjoy surrendering in the bedroom.”

“If I discover I do?” The question surprised her, though it came from her mouth.

“If that’s where your intimate needs lie, we can perhaps figure out how to balance it with your leadership goals. Perhaps you can separate the two, live in the best of both worlds.”

She was tempted. He made it sound so easy. It couldn’t be…could it?

Threatened and pursued, they have no business falling in love. So that’s exactly what they do.

Victor was a cyborg spy during the corporate wars that devastated Earth. Now he’s a refitted demo model for CyberServe, spotlighting the services a repurposed cyborg can offer…in life and love. Suave, cultured, and fully realized as a sentient being, Victor has it all, except the love he wants for himself.

Amadis Dubois has played second fiddle to the powerful her entire life. Now she has the chance to prove to everyone and herself she has what it takes to lead. She accepts a humanitarian mission to bring desperately needed medical supplies to a disease-stricken space station. If she can pull off rescuing thousands of lives, she can finally move out of others’ shadows.

Fending off the attentions of a lovelorn cyborg becomes a secondary concern when the captain of Amadis’ ship dies suddenly, leaving her the only human on board. With her career-setting mission endangered, pirates and rebels threatening at every turn, she has to turn to Victor for assistance after trying to keep him at a distance. Between moments of fighting for her life, she’s vulnerable to the numerous charms of the cyborg she has no business falling for.

Life and love hang in the balance for Amadis and Victor, with trouble at every turn. They can have it all, if they survive.

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.

 

Also on sale, the second book of the CyberServed series, Mine to Keep

 

On sale now from Amazon, Amazon UK, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble and in print.

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.
