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 …

Excerpt

The room had one
queen-sized bed. If he was lying next to her on it, no way was she leaving that
guy alone. Not even after violent trauma and the wound still throbbing
painfully in her thigh. Crazy, but so what. She was alive and kicking and in
one piece, thanks to him.
She wanted to feel
something good and true and excellent. Luke fit the bill.
Bye-bye, cartoon
kittens. They could wait for a Netflix and popcorn and sex-with-socks-on night.
She was going with the hot red stretch lace. Just as she was. Unretouched.
And in the mood for some
intense sexual healing.
Dani wriggled into the
outfit. Hoisted her boobs up for maximum lift. Hiked the panties up extra high.
She pushed the door open, stepped out and struck a pose.
For nothing. Luke was in
a digital trance. One hand manipulated a tablet, the other was tapping madly
over the laptop’s keyboard. He’d looped his devices into a chain and his brain
was the connector. No attention to spare for sexy lingerie.
But she wasn’t giving
up. By no means. “How’s it going?”
“So far so good,” he
said. “I’ve pinpointed the location of the second shipment, and the combination
for retrieving it. All the backup equipment needed to activate the slave
soldier and make it function. Coordinates for the pickup of the wetware are
included.”
She tugged at the lacy
shoulder strap, adjusting it. Luke still hadn’t noticed what she was wearing.
“What the hell is wetware?”
“It’s a Manticore term.
It refers to the slave soldier. He could be dormant, possibly suspended in
fluid. There’s a file on him. I89VY262. I haven’t gone through that one yet. C
drive on the laptop, if you’re interested.”
“I am interested,” she
said. “But later.”
“The equipment is in a
self-storage unit at an E-Z-U-Store in Serrati Flats, California,” he said.
“About a hundred and fifty miles north of here.”
“I suppose you want to
get going right away?”
“No, we’ll wait.”
She was startled. “Why?
Aren’t we in a hurry?”
“You went through hell
today. You need a decent night’s sleep. In a real bed.”
Well, bless his heart.
How sweet. The bed part he’d gotten right.
She walked toward him
slowly. Swaying her hips. Still nothing. He was locked and loaded in data
processing mode. His eyes reflected squares of blue from the screen. A stream
of files rolled constantly down it. Like she was peering directly into the data
churn in his brain.
He was about to get
forcibly reminded that he was not a robot.
She stepped between him
and the desk and sat down on his lap.
Luke went rigid. “Holy
fuck, Dani.”
She leaned in so her
tits were right below the level of his nose. Nipples on red alert from being so
close to him. She put her arms around his neck, running her fingers slowly
through his hair. Inhaling his hot male scent. “I like the red outfit the
best,” she said, her voice low and husky. “Do you?”’
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.
