Book Description:
Love should never be a choice between family and the man who’s claimed your heart.
A warrior’s life is the only one Kiera’s known since her psychic brethren adopted her from the streets as a child. Though she possesses equal preternatural ability and fighting skills, they will always see her as their youngest and in need of protection.
According to their leader’s psychic vision, her twofold destiny includes saving a computer prodigy’s life and a mate who pulls her from death’s clutches. Carlin, an electronics genius, develops software/hardware which could destroy any government. Without malicious intent, he seeks to prove possibilities beyond his current reality. Bored with the aspects of his social life, he yearns for a family.
When Kiera saves Carlin from the clutches of a psychic terrorist who stalks him for his program and skills, neither is prepared for the immediate connection formed. From the first skirmish, both their lives are caught up in a maelstrom of danger and desire. Kiera struggles to keep Carlin and his work from the terrorist who wants to destroy the U.S. while resisting the extraordinary attraction between them.
Can Carlin convince her they were meant for each other and survive her warrior brethren?

Excerpt:
The upstairs hallway was wide with rooms on
each side. When she stopped and turned to open a door, he noticed her color had
returned to normal. “Here you are. I’ll send your bag up with one of the guys.”
“Where’s your room Kiera?” He couldn’t help
it, she needed to know he wouldn’t give up. Whatever walls she erected, he’d
find a way to knock down.
Dilated pupils accompanied the slight flaring
of her nostrils. The low light behind her threw her face into partial shadow.
“I’m down the other hallway.” When she nibbled on her lip he couldn’t stand it.
“You know I’m going to kiss you, don’t you?”
Very slowly, he stepped forward until his body came within a scant inch of
hers. He wanted her to close those last few centimeters. With a gentle hand, he
stroked a few strands of hair from her face. Her eyelids fluttered as she
tilted her head into his caress. Her groan was his undoing. Circular motions on
her scalp saw her leaning into his caress. Unable to restrain himself, he
delved both hands into the thick mass of hair to hold her secure for his
devouring.
A sudden clearing of someone’s throat
startled them back to reality. Silky hair slipped through his fingers as she
backed a step, closed her eyes, and looked down.
“Hey guys. Carlin, I’ve got your bag in case
you wanted to shower before we eat. Whatcha doin?”
Shit!
“Um…checking for ticks?
Lyme’s disease can be a serious problem.”
“In December?”
“Yep…those little nasties can be hearty
little buggers. Sides, the weather’s been very mild.”
“And she picked them up while swimming in the
freezing sea water?” Narrowed eyes and hardened expression belied the smooth tone.
He hadn’t met this warrior…
“Surely they get thirsty?” He turned to meet
the warrior’s direct stare. Deadpan. Word
travels fast around here. Hope he doesn’t turn me into a french fry or
something. “Thanks.” Holding out his hand, “I’m Carlin.”
“Hi, I’m Alaric. We’ve brought some food if
you’re hungry. It’s, ah, downstairs,
and bug free.”
