Tainted Hearts

Marc's daughter is born with a lethal heart defect, but his involvement with the Methuselah Project keeps her from being accepted for the life-saving procedure she needs. Convinced his only option is to bypass the selection process, Marc takes matters into his own hands--he kidnaps the woman who created the artificial heart.

He must figure out a way to convince, coerce or seduce his way beyond Tuesday's emotional reserve. Sexual awareness sizzles between them but will their attraction be enough? Marc can sense her loneliness and her compassion for his child, but Tuesday is stubborn and spirited--and time is running out.

Tuesday Fitzpatrick wants only to save lives. Instead, a fanatical tyrant tries to convince her to be his queen. The president is pressuring her for reasons she doesn't understand. And she is kidnapped by a strangely familiar, and undeniably attractive, man. She must learn to trust the man who kidnaps her with her life and her heart.
