In a hidden desert lab compound, unwilling subjects are held for experimentation with an unthinkable goal--the genetic mutation of human beings . . .   All Amara knows is that the complete lack of freedom, the endless experiments and personal indignities have tested the limits of her sanity. But nothing prepares her for being locked away--naked--with a sexy ex-cop . . .   The department shrink always told Nick Gregory he had a hero complex that was going to get him killed one day, or worse. This is definitely worse. Even drugged so that his most basic animal instincts are uncontrollable, he is driven to protect the beautiful female with whom he's supposed to mate.  One way or another, he will escape this hell . . . and take her with him.   "Jacquelyn Frank is a fresh new voice, a stunning new talent.  I look forward to the next book." --Sherrilyn Kenyon   "Jacquelyn Frank knows how to write an intense, rip-roaring good read!" --Cathy Maxwell
