Description:
Both danger and sex are
inescapable in the Amber Zone.
Jaci Harmon was born a
Sapphire, but after she’s summoned to receive her final designation, the
testing reveals she carries a gene slated for eradication. Within a day, she’s
sterilized and dumped in the Amber Zone, where the damaged are corralled away
from the rest of New Atlanta. Scared and alone, Jaci would rather die than face
her future as an Amber.
Born in the Amber Zone,
Xander Dimos is a product of a lifetime spent under the oppression of the
Repopulation Laws. Decades of suffering have taught the Ambers to make the zone
a place where touch, sex, and unconditional acceptance ease the pain of their
fate. Jaci has a lot to learn about her new home, and it’s Xander’s
responsibility to guide her through the differences and the dangers safely.
With the simmering
undercurrents of sexual chemistry growing between them, and in the midst of discovering
the Gov’s true motives, Jaci and Xander must overcome his secret and accept
their love as undeniable…even if the time allotted to share it is short.
Warning: This title is
intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains explicit sex scenes
and/or situations (including BDSM, light bondage, anal play, sex toys, and

Excerpt:
“Let me go.” Jaci shot him an acid glare she hoped
would burn and eat at him like he was doused with drain cleaner. She was mad
and she had to stay mad at him, or she’d never be strong enough to do this. It
would also help immensely if he was angry at her too. Today, she wouldn’t be
able to survive the nurturing, protective man she loved.
Loved.
She was a mere second away from tears when she turned
away from him so he couldn’t see her face and headed for the door.
With a long stride Xander pinned her between his body
and the door. “No, you’re going to sit over there and listen to me.” His voice
was low, dangerous and right next to her ear.
With her hands still cuffed behind her back, the stray
thought that they must be dangerously close to touching parts of him she’d
never touched before made an unscheduled and unwanted appearance in her mind.
Then, as if he were psychic, he took a step back,
grabbed her cuffs and led her into a chair. “You are going to listen to me.”
“Why? You want to make excuses for the necessary lies?
The sex that wasn’t sex? The woman in the hall?” she spat.
Xander paced past her chair, eyes flaring, jaw muscle
working, then stood silent for a long minute.
“Where have you been?” he asked her calmly.
“None of your damn business,” she hissed back.
“It is my business. I’m supposed to be protecting
you.” He watched her as she took the time to inhale slowly, calming herself,
and pulling it together before she spoke.
“Protecting me?” She snorted. “You stupid ass.” She was calmer now, except for a slight quaver in her voice that betrayed the devastating explosion of feelings lurking beneath the surface. “You hurt me more than any psycho that’s out there. You pretended to be my friend, made me think I would be okay here. When I was at the most vulnerable and painful point in my entire life, you hurt me, Xander. You should have told me. You should have told me you have a girlfriend. You should have told me you and Jordan were nothing but my temporary bodyguards, not my friends.” She cleared her throat and looked down at the table in front of her. “You knew I was falling in love with you and you took advantage of that.
