Tempting Tempest — Rena Marks

Many months ago, they agreed to a purely sexual relationship. Of course, that was before she accidentally killed him. Tempest can't allow herself to fall for a human, no matter how scrumptious he may be. Her trainer, Shawn, is the only one who manages to tempt that rule. She's sure it's guilt over the stabbing, compounded by the fact that he's the sexiest man in Xenia. Unfortunately, he's human and therefore...weak. She can't fall for someone she may lose. Everyone is aware that Tempest is perhaps the most damaging—and damaged—Xeno Sapien there is. Coveted for her beauty, her body was a prize for others to battle over. Being abused taught her to protect herself by hurting others—and herself.It's Shawn's job to teach her otherwise. His job to teach her she can be loved. Because there's no one else he loves more than her. * The story behind the series: When futuristic Earth finds alien DNA and creates a new species of hybrids in hidden labs, Dr. Robyn Saraven helps the creatures escape. She uses her connections to establish their own city on Earth-Ground where they can learn, grow, and avoid the corruption and greed that created them. * Each book can be read as a standalone, but will be richer if read in order. Other books in the Genetically Altered Humans Series:Book 1—Xeno SapiensBook 2—Earth-GroundBook 3—SirenBook 4—Beast's BeautyBook 5—Almost HumanBook 6—Forbidden TouchesBook 7—Coveting AvaBook 8—For EverlyBook 9—Assassin's MateBook 10—SextetBook 11—Tempting TempestBook 12—Falling For Trance  Book 13—Damaged GoodsBook 14—Alien's BrideBook 15—Dual LivesBook 16—Reson's LessonBook 17—A Mate For Max
