Paired Pursuit — Clare Murray

Danger rises in the night...and so does desire.

Her last living relative dead, Mari is evicted from her shipping container and leaves Flagstaff for the first time in seven years. Boarding a train for Scar City (formerly Reno), she keeps a white-knuckle grip on her debilitating panic attacks. When the train lurches, she loses that grip-and is picked up, calmed down, and turned on by the only other passengers in the car. Finn and Gareth are under orders from their superiors to follow a slim lead on a stolen alien device. At first Mari is only a pleasant distraction, but through their telepathic Twin link, the brothers discover they both sense a powerful attraction to her that goes far beyond pheromones. With dawning horror, Mari learns the Twins are after the same device she's seeking, her only hope to get money for a better life. Once they reach Scar City, the three realize they're living on borrowed time-unless they can discover the device's secrets before attacking aliens bring the city walls tumbling down.

Warning: Contains two genetically modified warrior heroes, a woman whose worst nightmare is wide open spaces, and distractions of a vibratory nature.
