Falling for a cyborg she helped create. Kyra Winters never meant for her cyber science discoveries to be used for evil, but that’s exactly what happened. Now returning Peyton 313’s humanity is the last chance she’ll ever have to atone. She can’t get back the lost decade, but she can change the present by restoring the cyborg who was once Marine Captain Peyton Elliot. Certainly her grand plan for rectifying her mistakes didn’t include madly kissing the confused, passionate Marine when he begged her to. The same scientific mind that constructed the cyborg creator code now warned her not to let Peyton’s tempting offers of heaven cloud her rational decision making. Yet it’s difficult to resist the cyborg she’s restoring when he’s also the most intriguing man she’s ever known. less

He often forgets he's a cyborg. All she sees in the mirror is a killing machine. Marine Lance Corporal Eric Anderson tended to forget he was cyborg. Hell--most of the time he didn't give being mostly a military machine any thought. He'd always lived by his human gut, not his logic chip, so thinking out of the cybernetic box was just how he worked.  Then he met her--Evelyn 489--a female cyborg so erratically dangerous she has to be kept locked away... moreHe often forgets he's a cyborg.

He'd always lived by his human gut, not his logic chip, so thinking out of the cybernetic box was just how he worked.  Then he met her--Evelyn 489--a female cyborg so erratically dangerous she has to be kept locked away. Angry, violent, and full of deadly intentions, she epitomizes every fear about cyber scientists that ever kept him awake at night. Some warped cyber scientist stripped away her real identity to create the perfect companion. Until he gave into his urge to be her hero, the woman didn't know she used to be Army Captain Lucille Evelyn Pennington.  Though Peyton is full of doubts, Eric is compelled to help Kyra and Nero restore the woman who once liked to be called Lucy. It doesn't help his cause that several people seem determined to kill her. less

Will didn’t need the trouble Meara caused, but maybe he did need her. For Captain William Talon, aka William 874, there weren’t many choices left. Whoever had captured him after the war had kept him out of the Cyber Husband program and systemically turned him into a killing machine—a worse one than most cyborgs. Will had no idea how many deaths were on his hands nor did he want to know. The few incidents he recalled were bad enough... moreWill didn’t need the trouble Meara caused, but maybe he did need her. For Captain William Talon, aka William 874, there weren’t many choices left. Whoever had captured him after the war had kept him out of the Cyber Husband program and systemically turned him into a killing machine—a worse one than most cyborgs. Will had no idea how many deaths were on his hands nor did he want to know. The few incidents he recalled were bad enough. But now it had come to this… Kyra and Peyton needed a better cyborg than their enemy was making. Will’s processor was dying daily which meant the rest of him would soon die as well. An upgrade of the kind Kyra was talking about would either improve his entire existence… or kill him completely. Ironically, Will really didn’t care which. He’d have taken his own life years ago if he could have gotten around the daily brainwashing. His losses as a human male were massive. Like many other cyber soldiers, they included the loss of a family who were convinced he was walking evil. His gains since Peyton had rescued him? Really there was only one—just one annoying, endlessly chattering, red-haired troublemaker who had also volunteered to be upgraded. Now they were cybernetic equals, or at least they were in Meara's mind. What was he supposed to do with a female who had no boundaries? And what was he supposed to do with the first hope he’d felt in years? ********* ABOUT THIS SERIES This is a science fiction and fantasy series that takes place in the not too distant future. These Cyborg romance heroes are genetically engineered military men who have been cybernetically imprisoned after a near-apocalyptic global war.
