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 …

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.
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.
