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 …

Tycoon and secret
supersoldier Noah Gallagher never expected to beat the Obsidian Group at their
evil game—genetically altering runaway kids—but he did, with the help of the
brave and beautiful Caro Bishop, the love of his life. The two of them survived
that wild adventure, but only just. Noah is crazy for his new bride, knowing
all the while that being with him puts her at constant risk. Their love, their
closeness, and the intense passion they share are shadowed by fear. Obsidian’s
relentless hunt to recapture its rebels will never stop. Noah would die
to save her—but now is not the time to tell her that.
Caro’s relaxing on their
deluxe honeymoon in Italy, rediscovering treasures of Renaissance art, when
they’re invited to the public unveiling of the latest secret sensation in the
art world, the newly excavated Cross of Orazio. Caro is beyond thrilled. Noah
is not. The guest list is packed with politicians, corporate moguls,
celebrities, and entourages. Social media coverage will follow them everywhere.
Caro’s wild to go and
Noah can’t deny her pleasure of any kind. They’ll stay off the red carpet.
Admire the cross and leave for an erotic rendezvous he’s planned in advance,
right down to the rose petals and silken cords. What could go wrong?
Everything. The fabled
Cross of Orazio is more than it seems, and now he and Caro are right in the
line of fire …

Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Shannon McKenna
Dani stepped through the passageway—and started backwards,
with a stifled shriek.
An enormous dark man loomed in the shadows.
Huge. Buzzed dark hair, vast shoulders, all bulked up with black body armor
like a commando.
His eyes gleamed in the darkness with terrifying
intensity. “Don’t scream.” His voice was deep, hoarse and scratchy. “I won’t
hurt you.” He made a shushing gesture with his hands.
“Who the fuck are you?” Dani’s back
thudded against the wall. “What are you doing here in my house?”
“We need to talk.” His voice was very calm.
“Quietly.”
“About what?” Her voice shook.
“Shhh. Keep it down. About Naldo.”
She went nuts, writhing in his grip. “It
was you!” she hissed. “You hurt Naldo!”
“No!” He whispered the words urgently into her
ear. “No, no, no. That wasn’t me.”
She fought him, but there was an uncanny quality
to his implacable grip. A sinking-into-quicksand feeling, as if he was using
her own energy and the harder she fought, the tighter he held her.
He wound her into a shaking. Her legs were
trapped between his rock-solid thighs. She strained against him, fear rising to
a screaming pitch. “What the fuck do you want from me?”
“For you to listen.” The vibration of his deep,
quiet voice against her ear sent racking shivers through her.
She swallowed to calm the shaking. “Fine,” she
said. “Talk. Make it snappy.”
“Don’t be afraid,” he urged.
Dani let out a bark of incredulous laughter.
“Hah! For real?”
“I won’t hurt you, Dani. I swear it.”
She squeezed her eyes shut and just tried not to
hyperventilate. “Then why not come to the goddamned door like a normal person
if all you want to do is to talk?”
“It hasn’t been a normal day. You never would’ve
let me in.”
“Right! Let go of me! Asshole!”
“Shhh,” he whispered again. “I came in to warn
you that you’re in danger.”
She twisted in his grip, just enough to catch
the flash of his dark gaze.
“Oh really.” Her voice dripped sarcasm. “Am I.
Now there’s a news flash.”
“Not from me,” he said impatiently. “From the
people who hurt Naldo.”
“What do you know about Naldo? Who hurt him?”
She turned to study his face again. “Wait. I saw you earlier,” she said slowly.
“You were in the ER. Wearing a lab coat.”
“Yeah, that was me,” he admitted.
“I thought you were a new resident, maybe
starting an ER rotation.”
“Nope, not a doctor. I was there to protect
you,” he told her. “I’m here now for the same reason.”
“I didn’t ask for your protection,” she replied
savagely. “Whoever the hell you are!”
“Getting around to that. Now listen. Naldo had
a—” His body went still. “Shhhhh.”
She froze too, waiting. Listening. “What in the hell
is going on?”
“They’re moving in on us.” He breathed the words
out almost soundlessly. “Don’t make a sound.”
It was too damn much. She yanked one of her arms
almost free. “The only problem I have right now is you! Let … me … go!”
His hand clamped over her mouth. She pulled back
and bit his hand, hard. He pulled his hand free with a hiss of pain, and she
started to screech.
In a blinding instant, she was clamped against
his body so tight she could hardly breathe.
He hoisted her off her feet. Kicked open the
door to the laundry closet. Hauled her inside.
And there she was, in the darkness in her
clutter of brooms, buckets and mops, jammed in between her ironing board and
her washing machine with a huge, mysterious, terrifying man.
So close, he was practically plastered to her
body.

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.
