Agent Sam Ryan has had enough. She wants out, and she
wants out now. She’s sick of putting up with Gabriel’s
crappy attitude, sick of seeing nothing but paperwork and
the inside of her small office. But most of all, she is
sick of feeling lonely. It’s time to take control and get
a life outside of work.
But Stephan, the man in charge of the SIU, isn’t about to
let her go easily. Offered the choice between guarding a
clone and probable enemy of the country, and remaining
stuck in her shoe box, Sam reluctantly accepts the former,
even though she suspects Stephan is not only withholding
information from her, but he’s using her as bait to draw
out the one man he and the SIU are desperate to capture.
The elusive and dangerous Sethanon.
Gabriel is relieved to discover he’s finally shaken Sam as
a partner, until he learns her new assignment is guarding
Wetherton, the clone replacement of a government minister.
Both he and Stephan know Wetherton could only have come
from one place—Hopeworth. The military base has been
involved in DNA experiments for decades and was more than
likely the place where Sam was created. But there is a
growing likelihood that the military base is also the home
of Sethanon himself.
Determined to protect her, Gabriel is quickly drawn into
the mission. All too soon he discovers the connection
between him and Sam is far deeper than anyone could ever
have imagined. Because what lies in her DNA also lies in
his, and it might just mean that everything he’d believed
about his past and his ability to love was nothing but a
lie.
As the assignment begins to unravel around Sam and her
past begins to reveal itself in her dreams, she fights to
stay alive and find the truth about herself, about the men
in her dreams, and about the connection between her and
Gabriel.
But the military is closing in, and they want their
creation back. And the only person standing between her
and them might well be the enemy of all mankind.
