Mated with
the Cyborg by Cara Bristol
GENRE:
Sci-fi Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Kai Andros’s
orders were simple. Get in. Gather the intel on the terrorist
organization. Get out.
Then he met
her. Mariska. Beautiful. Innocent. Ignorant of her father’s
atrocities. And marked for death.
His orders said
nothing about saving her. But he did. He went off-mission.
Can a rogue
cyborg outrun both Cyber Operations and the terrorists to save the
woman he loves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
Some might have
cheered Mariska’s impending demise. The organization’s brutality
had incited a backlash of negative sentiment against all its members.
Many espoused the notion that the only good Lamis-Odg was a dead
Lamis-Odg.
Kai couldn’t
buy into that. Mariska had been no party to the actions of her father
or Lamani. She was vulnerable. Innocent. But not stupid or cowardly.
In the month spent observing her, her quiet fortitude and inner
strength had impressed him. Even before he’d caught the shocking
glimpse of her face, he’d been struck by her beautiful eyes. A rich
shade of melted caramel, fringed by dark lashes. Expressive in their
attempt not to be. She didn’t trust him.
Her wariness
pierced him in a way it shouldn’t. She was a person of interest and
her emotions shouldn’t impact his decision-making. And in fact, she
was wise to be suspicious. Obido had bugged her quarters and employed
spybots to keep tabs on her. While Kai wouldn’t intentionally harm
her, he would manipulate her to obtain whatever information he could
on Lamis-Odg.
The reign of
terror had to be stopped. Direct intervention in Mariska fate
jeopardized that goal. Doing nothing was the right thing to do.
Sacrifices had to be made for the greater good.
Why did he feel
like he was no better than Obido?
When they
rounded the corner to the gangway entrance two guards—Lamis-Odg,
not androids—snapped to attention, weapons drawn. “Halt!” one
of them cried.
“It’s okay;
he’s with me,” Mariska said.
While one guard
leveled his weapon, the other scanned him. “The android is not
authorized to board,” the guard said.
“He’s not
boarding; he’s loading my luggage. He’ll disembark after he
carries it to my stateroom.”
“Negative. He
shall remain here.” The guard motioned. “Leave the cases.”
Kai set the
bags down, and the sentry scanned them. “Clear,” he announced. He
jerked his head at Mariska. “You may take them now.”
She dragged one
toward the craft.
“My duty is
to serve the daughter of Obido. Allow me to set the bags inside the
door. I shall not enter,” Kai said.
The two guards
glanced at each other and shrugged. “All right.”
Under armed
watch, he deposited both bags inside the portal. There was nothing
else he could do. He sought Mariska’s gaze. Don’t go. “Have a
safe flight.”
“Thank you.”
She boarded.
Kai stomped down the gangway.
