Agent Sam Ryan has had enough. She wants out, and she wants
out now. She was 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 was sick of
feeling lonely. It was time to take control, to get a life
beyond work.
But the man in charge of the SIU isn't about to let her go
so easily. Offered the choice between guarding a clone and
probable enemy, and remaining stuck in her shoe box, she
reluctantly takes the former--even though she guesses
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, 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 was a growing
likelihood that the military base was 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
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 her and her past
begins to reveal itself in her dreams, Sam fights to stay
alive and find the truth. About herself, about the men in
her dreams, 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.
