Part of New Species, book 2
First published 2011
Dr. Trisha Norbit lies trapped beneath a massive New Species male in her hospital bed. The drugged patient, known only as 215, makes passionate promises before staff pulls him away. Later, at Homeland, she meets Slade, who wants to learn about human and Species breeding compatibility. He suggests direct experimentation, but Trisha refuses casual encounters. Slade cannot offer commitment because he remains fixated on a woman from his past. When he discovers Trisha is that same woman, he realizes his mistake. She will not forgive his forgotten promises. Danger forces them to flee into the wilderness together. Their attraction blazes as they run for survival. Physical intimacy in the wild creates complications that threaten both their lives and reshape their future.
