Cold Fusion — Harper Fox

Their love is the catalyst that could save the planet...or cost their lives.

As an environmental activist for Peace Warrior, Kier Mallory never hesitated to throw himself into dangerous situations. Until his hotheadedness costs the lives of two fellow crewmembers on an anti-whaling mission. He finds no refuge in his hometown on Scotland's north coast, where everyone knows what this son of a broken fisherman has done. Effectively homeless, Mal returns to one of his favorite places-Spindrift, a rustic colony of artist and crafter huts. Spindrift is dilapidated and empty, save for a lone resident. Vivian Calder, a brilliant but emotionally detached scientist who appears to have done the impossible-mastered cold fusion. A clean, free, limitless source of power. Despite Viv's aversion to contact, a fragile bond forms between them, seemingly one atom at a time. Until Mal, determined to redeem himself by revealing Viv's accomplishment to the world, brings down the wrath of an oil-dependent establishment, risking not only their love, but Viv's life.

Warning: Contains a disgraced environmentalist and an autistic genius who go from strangers to lovers-for-life in thirteen days. Don't believe in miracles? We'll make you.
