Heartbeat Override

I pulled a blood-drenched soldier from the burning wreckage, pressed two fingers to his neck, and froze—he didn't have a heartbeat. But the instant my trembling hands touched his bare chest, the lethal runaway's kill-switch abruptly shut down, and his brutal grip locked around mine like a man drowning for air. Kade Voss is a genetically modified monster built to slaughter without mercy, yet my racing pulse is the only anchor keeping his humanity alive. A ruthless medical empire wants their ultimate weapon back on his leash, and they will butcher anyone who holds the biological key to his obedience. Trapped together in the city's darkest shadows, every breathless touch suppresses his murderous programming, but ignites a dangerous, possessive obsession that threatens to destroy us both. When his creators corner us with the deadly truth about my missing sister, do I surrender my life to keep this monster tethered to my heart, or let his kill code ignite and watch the entire city burn?
