Dark Adaptation

If you can't beat them, join them...Or so I thought when Jake Fallon ticked me off enough to make me decide that the only way I could learn about my ever-growing abilities was to go straight to their source: Genecorp, the enemy that created the Talents.My plan would have worked, too. But the hidden lab is deserted except for a dozen mostly-dead Talents, and I somehow get my butt kicked in a firefight I didn't see coming.The last thing I want is Jake swooping in to rescue me, but I'm woman enough to admit I can't do this alone. If saving the Talents means working with Jake—a control freak who needs me to bring balance to his immense power but refuses to allow me to touch him—I'll do it. Because I am the key to saving our world, and if we don't find the lock, everyone I love will die—including Jake.
