The Last Pulse Contract

Kane Rusk has Mara Venn at gunpoint when his engineered heart suddenly seizes—and locks onto her pulse. One touch turns the ruthless hunter and desperate thief into unwilling life partners. He was sent to recover the gene stabilizer she stole to save her brother. Now they have seven days to escape the locked-down city, because if Mara gets too far away, Kane’s heart will kill them both. But as corporate soldiers close in, Mara discovers the cold heir is actually the company’s first failed test subject—and Kane learns she’s risking everything for children whose identities were erased. To break the contract, Mara must abandon Kane and save her brother—or stay beside the man hunting her and uncover the experiment that could destroy them all.
