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.
About Shannon McKenna:
Shannon McKenna is the NYT bestselling author of seventeen action packed, turbocharged romantic thrillers, among which are the stories of the wildly popular McCloud series and the brand new romantic suspense series, The Obsidian Files. She loves tough and heroic alpha males, heroines with the brains and guts to match them, villains who challenge them to their utmost, adventure, scorching sensuality, and most of all, the redemptive power of true love. Since she was small she has loved abandoning herself to the magic of a good book, and her fond childhood fantasy was that writing would be just like that, but with the added benefit of being able to take credit for the story at the end. Alas, the alchemy of writing turned out to be messier than she'd ever dreamed. But what the hell, she loves it anyway, and hopes that readers enjoy the results of her alchemical experiments. She loves to hear from her readers.
